Maximal Aerobic test - Percentage finding.

**Kristjan** · 03-27-2024, 12:41 PM

Hi,

I am a Sports Physiology Master Student and recently have done a Maximal Aerobic test on a participant. I have gathered all this data from a breath by breath measurement and have figured out their VO2max by calculating it by a 9 breath value (in yellow - vertical). The test was done a little differently, with the participant building up and stopping at a speed of 16kmph (in yellow - horizontal) and then increasing the % of incline every minute (in green), failing at 7%, at the same given speed.
I am no guru with Excel and there is so much data in front of me that I am not sure what to do with. I was wondering if someone could either help me or provide me a formula to find the gram% of CHO and FAT that was burnt per minute of the session, in addition to the kcal(kilocalories)/min for fat and CHO per minute of the test.

Thanks,

The forum considers me a guru with Excel, but I, too, find myself overwhelmed with that wall of data. I suspect that the problem is that, even if I might be good at Excel programming, I know next to nothing about sports physiology, so I cannot make heads or tales out of that wall of data. If you as the guru in sports physiology will help us understand the calculations and algorithms and such that a sports physiologist would use to reduce that wall of data down to "gram% of CHO" or "Fat burned per minute" and/or whatever other quantities you expect to calculate from the data, we should be able to help you program those calculations into Excel.
