Is a 5 minute VO2Max power test necessary? When you know your 5 minute max cycling power, you add another chess piece to your racing arsenal.   In this video, Lukas Löer, road racing cyclist and presenter of Probike Academy YouTube Channel, performed a live VO2max testing while a 5 minute all out cycling test at La Garrotxa Natural Park hills (Spain). ⠀⠀⠀ He relied on COSMED K5 wearable metabolic...

University of Nebraska at Omaha - Department of Biomechanics relied on COSMED K5 to measure the metabolic cost of walking with a robotic waist tether.   The metabolic rate during walking can be minimized by providing assistance at the waist of individuals undergoing physical therapy. By focusing on the center of mass of an individual, the waist, Antonellis et al. developed a robotic tether...

VO2max represents the maximum volume of oxygen consumed per minute per kilogram of weight and defines the personal cardiorespiratory and aerobic level.   The VO2max indicates the body's ability to bring oxygen to all parts of the body, through the circulatory system, in order to use it as part of the energy production process. In this video you can see an extract of VO2max test performed with...

Erkan Tortu, Sport Sciences And Technology-Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), performed a metabolic assessment with COSMED K5 to determine the athlete exercise domains (moderate-heavy-severe-extreme) and create specific training programs.   With COSMED K5 the metabolic assessment can be carried out practicing indoor or outdoor activities even with the most extreme weather conditions. K5 single-body...
