MLSS Test

Warm Up
5-step ramp from $0.5\,\text{MLSS}_{\text{guess}}$ to $0.8\,\text{MLSS}_{\text{guess}}$.
Ramp
Starting either $10\,\text{W}$ or $20\,\text{W}$ below guessed MLSS. Each step the power is increased by $10\,\text{W}$. Lactate is measured at $3\,\text{min}$ and $9\,\text{min}$ for each step. Lactate concentration is considered steady as long as the increase is below $1\,\text{mmol}/\text{l}$.

The result is stored in a corresponding yaml file.

measurements:
  - date: 2023-03-25
    MLSS_guess: 284
    measurements:
      - power: 260

General Test

Warm Up
$15\,\text{min}$ at $0.4\,\text{FTP}$ with measurement at the end.
Ramp
Starting from $0.5\,\text{FTP}$ and increasing by $0.1\,\text{FTP}$ per step until $1.0\,\text{FTP}$. $6\,\text{min}$ per step. Test at $5\,\text{min}$ for each step.
