Measuring marathon performance with COSMED K5 and ATCES
An endurance runner and content creator decided to measure his true physical capabilities after completing a marathon and a half marathon. Rather than relying on feelings or apps, he turned to precise scientific data.
He traveled to Madrid to undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test with the COSMED K5, one of the most accurate systems in the world, thanks to Daniel Valtueña from ATCES.
During the test, his VO₂ max, aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, and physiological responses under maximum effort were analyzed.
The results were incorporated into an individual athlete profile, providing precise insights to optimize training and performance.
This experience highlights how advanced technology and scientific data can transform athletic training, offering a measurable and objective approach to understanding and improving performance.
