Is a 5 minute VO2Max power test necessary? When you know your 5 minute max cycling power, you add another chess piece to your racing arsenal.

University of Nebraska at Omaha - Department of Biomechanics relied on COSMED K5 to measure the metabolic cost of walking with a robotic waist tether.

VO2max represents the maximum volume of oxygen consumed per minute per kilogram of weight and defines the personal cardiorespiratory and aerobic level.

Erkan Tortu, Sport Sciences And Technology-Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), performed a metabolic assessment with COSMED K5 to determine the athlete exercise domains (moderate-heavy-severe-extreme) and create specific training programs.

Dr Alvaro Bondia, nutritionist and health professional at Mediterranean Health in Mallorca, trusts that to improve energy performance there is no better and more precise option than a metabolic assessment.
