BillaTraining relied on COSMED K5 to assess and train Marc Batard, World Recordman of the ascent of Everest, without oxygen, in less than 24 hours. The French mountaineer will take up a new challenge in 2022: climb Everest again, but this time at 70! Marc Batard, during his exceptional career, noted the lack of training at very high altitude for mountain professionals. In his opinion this is...
At Oregon State University, Dr. Timothy Burnett, instructor of kinesiology, is conducting a pioneer study on the metabolic function of snowboarders with COSMED K5. This line of research aims to understand the energy requirements of different downhill snowboarding activities. Research, banked-slalom courses and border crossing events will develop pilot data for examining the broader spectrum of...
At the brand-new HUAWEI Health Lab in Xi’an (China), researchers rely on COSMED K5 to capture metabolic data, such as maximum oxygen uptake. "With more than 20 professional research devices, researchers simulate multiple exercise scenarios, collect fitness and health data, and continuously optimise Huawei's fitness and health data algorithms" declared Huawei Device Co., Ltd. in the official press...
The metabolic test was performed on a tennis professional player by Carlo Laface (Stilnuovo Health Fitness Club) who explained that VO2max is frequently used by athletic trainers to test the aerobic endurance or cardiovascular fitness of athletes before and at the end of a training cycle.
