F1 and VO2 Max Training

(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

What is VO2 Max Training and why do drivers do it?

VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen the body absorbs during exercise and can measure aerobic fitness levels. VO2 = Volume of oxygen consumed by the body per minute - it is one of the strongest predicters of heart disease and death. It is the best measure of cardiac and respiratory fitness available.

VO2 is measured in ml (of oxygen) / kg (body mass) / minute

How much oxygen the body consumes - the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute and how much oxygen was taken from it.

Now...why do F1 drivers need this?

Drivers put extreme demand on their cardiovascular, respiratory and overall physical health during races. Their bodies are subjected to enormous amounts of g-force and experience extreme heat and stress. They need a lot of energy to do this and as a result can burn a lot of calories per race.

VO2 max training is a useful measurement to assess a drivers endurance at their maximum during exercise which they are subject to during a race. The strain they're under during a race would require their bodies to be pushed to the max, requiring optimal oxygen intake and energy production.

It can ensure drivers are fit enough to endure the stress they subject their bodies to despite the environment within the car - maximum speeds/ heat. It gives drivers and their teams a greater understanding of how hard they can push their bodies and also how they can further maximise their performance during races.

Want to know a bit more about the science? Read below.

Now the (more) science-y bit - oxygen is used in respiration and as you breathe in oxygen the lungs turn it into energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This powers the cells and helps release the CO2 in the body that's created during respiration when you breathe out.

The greater a persons VO2 max, the more oxygen a body can consume and the more effectively the body can use this to create the maximum amount of ATP energy and the better the body can handle aerobic/ cardio exercise.

During the test the goal is to get to maximum exercise to determine max heart rate, vo2 max and an estimated lactate threshold. The test measures oxygen consumption and CO2 production using a mask to determine values. The goal is to run at a comfortable speed but not too comfortable for around 10 minutes to max out oxygen consumption and heart rate. During the test heart rate is measured using the ECG dots you can see on the chest.

The Fick Equation is used to calculate VO2.

VO2 (mls O2/ minute) = cardiac output (stroke volume x cardiac output) x arteriovenous oxygen difference (difference in O2 content between arterial and venous blood - how much O2 is used by tissues in systemic circulation).

So in short, VO2 is how much oxygen the body consumes - how much blood the heart pumps per minute and how much oxygen was taken from it.

My first stress test ecg video is out now on OnlyFans! https://onlyfans.com/nathansheartbeat

Nathan had his first ever stress test today. He was kinda nervous about it at first but he loved how the suction electrodes felt on his skin...the mask for VO2 max recording made breathing harder but Nathan is a fit and sporty boy so he took on the challenge and gave it all he got...

Getting it done. VO2max 3x4min above 5k pace.

1/13/24 Treadmill

Working on experimenting with different low impact ways to increase VO2 by increasing HR up into zone 5. Today was on treadmill, working up to a 5 incline and speed of 3.2 mph over about 10 minutes, then walking that for about 5 minutes. Treadmill is sooo boring, 15 minutes is about all I can handle. I'm a little more comfortable on the Treadmill today than last week. I did get HR up, but probably need it a bit higher and for longer.

Milestone?

The Garmin minions have granted me an improvement in my V02 Max. As I finished my ride last night it announced, "Congratulations you are now 43 ml/min/kg."

My spreadsheet shows me at 46 to 47. The Fitbit thing says 45 to 49.

Two of these are based on a statistical method that uses resting and maximum heart rates. The Gramin does not know my resting heart rate so there must be some magic going on. Any of those numbers are very good for a walking fossil such as I.

VO2 max is a measure of either how much Oxygen you can push to the muscles, or how much you can pull from the air. Your blood is the commuter bus line for the O2 so if you have an efficient heart and lungs that is the pulling from the air part. If you have great capillaries in the muscles that is the other.

I have heard conflicting opinions on if it is possible to improve by training. One side claims you are born with it high or low. The other says you can train it. I think there is truth in both sides. If I were still a potato my VO2 max would be 30 ish? But real athletes have stupid high numbers like 80 ish and more. The current Tour d France champ has an estimated value of 97!

Greg Lemond had a rating of low 90s by actual test in his prime years. It varies with weight of course. If you get 10% lighter your VO2 Max is 10% better. Of course those guys are the definition of pointy end of the curve.

You can improve it by losing weight. You can improve it by cardio training. It is literally a cardio fitness measure. But reliable people say that it is mostly genetic. Heart capacity, lung capacity and muscle types all contribute. No Way I could ever have been over 60 even when young.

I just like the part where I can say I am as fit as a person decades younger than my true age. Of course what is true age? How many trips you have around the sun or how fit your body is?

It is a good number to have. Far more accurate than how many hours in a Gym per week, or even how hard the Earth pulls you down.

Thanks Garmin for the award. Now can you fix you stupid altimeter thing. It is never correct.

1/10/24 1.5 Mile walk with incline and stairs

Tried another tactic to get HR up more by climbing the stairs that lead up to the walk trail overpass. It worked to a degree, but it's only about 2 flights, so not long enough to get into PEAK zone. I also tried walking up the ramp, which took longer but still didn't do the job.

Trying to get into "zone 5" to work on increasing VO2 max. You can see the spikes in HR from each climb, which is good, but it's just not spiking high enough.

Boost Your VO2 Max: 7 Effective Tips and Workouts for Improvement

Do you know your heart has the power to fight a heart attack?

It is called VO2 Max.

Dr. Rohit Sane, CEO & Managing Director who has revolutionized ayurvedic practices world wide, gives a detailed explanation about VO2 Max.

Volume of Oxygen consumed per minute or VO2 Max is a determinant of your heart’s strength to survive a heart attack.

We spend our days fearing we will get an attack in the near future and this fear has the potential to destroy our quality of life.

If you find out your VO2 Max levels, and it is above 35 min, then there is no need to fear. Your heart is diving.

But when it is below 35 then you need to start taking preventive measures.

Today, I swam.

Swimming in circles. Leaping train carriages. One legged men.

Those who know me, know this past year, I have taken to swimming. Today was my longest two and a half hours and furthest 4.2km. I am not a fast swimmer. I only properly learned to swim when I was 17 studying for O-Levels at Langside College. Before then I used to perform a front crawl that I had copied off the TV. One of those 1980’s action-adventure series with American Vietnam Vets who have…
