Applied Exercise Physiology Testing

Designed and ran a full aerobic capacity assessment on a live participant — incremental treadmill protocol from 10–15 km/h, collecting VO₂ and blood lactate data in real time. Used it to classify training zones, calculate running economy at each speed, and analyse the VO₂–RQ relationship to pinpoint the shift from fat to carb metabolism. Benchmarked against Seiler & Kjerland's polarised training research to turn raw physiology data into practical zone recommendations for endurance athletes.
