## 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.
``` yaml
measurements:
- date: 2023-03-25
MLSS_guess: 284
measurements:
- power: 260
lactate: [4.0, 4.3]
- power: 270
lactate: [6.0, 7.1]
- ...
```
## 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.
