    My questions is if you can trust the results of a random lab test. It would be interesting to have the same test done in a different lab and see if the results are the same.

    Interesting video. Do not trust their VO2 Result vs the Bath University though which uses a much better standard. An 8 increase is seriously significant and based on what you were saying about your last 18 months it does seem highly unlikely. I am yet to do any VO2 tests, but am a trained athlete and would definitely recognise that sort of increase. How do you feel about it? Also, the 9% BF cannot be correct?!

    Having a background in data science and fitness I always these deep dive fitness test videos. The muscle oxygen data was interesting, as you imply, a VO2 max in high 50s would be typically be able to run a sub 3 hour marathon. I'm guessing the protocol you used was some form of ramp test, I guess like anything it's hard to exactly compare exactly unless the same protocol was used previously (and ideally the same equipment).

    • @FloraBeverley
      @FloraBeverley  Місяць тому

      @@neil1974uk yes exactly this. The other test was more like 30 minutes I believe so would have showed up a lower VO2 max - I believe most tests are 10-15 mins, 20 mins for elites and the like. So hopefully (🤞) this is more accurate & can be replicated next year!

      I'm 47 years old and have a VO2 max of 57. I do run about an avg of 60 km/week but I can't run a marathon in 3 hours. More like 3:15 if I really put in a good marathon block and everything clicks.

    This is great Flora, I’m curious if your Garmin had estimated your V02 max and if it was different to this test?

    • @FloraBeverley
      @FloraBeverley  Місяць тому +2

      My garmin says 52! It said 54 last year when I was in proper training. Lots of reasons why it might not show up higher, probably partly because I purposefully don’t do max efforts nowadays. We’ll see if it starts to change as I pick up the workload a bit ☺️

    • @Nayz13
      @Nayz13 Місяць тому +1

      @ Thanks Flora, I’ll be curious to see what happens! At 45 years old my Garmin tells my V02 max is 46 which is supposed to be pretty good for my age, I’ve often thought of taking the test to see if the difference

    I think/hope the BF% is quite off. Female *Essential* body fat is about 10%. It is very difficult and unhealthy to maintain a BF% less than that. Those who maintain such a low BF% will likely have hugely compromised health, immunity and fertility. If you take a look at examples of females with about 10%, you will find physique competitors. Their bodies are much more cut than yours with great muscle definition and visible abs. I am very surprised the test administrator did not either realize your result of 9.7% was incorrect or counsel you that it is not healthy for females.

      RIGHT just coming back to this because I also wanted to know what happened!
      When we spoke about the results on the testing site, the results were higher. When I eventually got the full report, for some reason just the subcutaneous fat levels were shown instead of overall fat. They’ve apologised for the error and I will clarify with others too.
      It’s a busy time of year, things sometimes do slip through the net, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

      @@shaylorcyclingwahoo goodness, I guess this is why people don’t share their data. I always mention that this is *HIGHLY personal and can’t be compared between people* for exactly this reason. Your wife sounds perfectly healthy, and as we know, less BF does not necessarily make you healthier, faster, fitter or indeed happier.
