Deep dives
Understanding the Power Performance Decoder
The Power Performance Decoder (PPD) serves as a crucial tool for bridging data collected during physical training with physiological performance metrics. By using power data, the PPD can calculate important physiological indicators such as VO2 max and VLA max without the need for laboratory testing. This flexibility allows athletes to obtain accurate insights into their performance from their own training environments, either indoors or outdoors. Understanding these connections helps athletes identify specific areas for performance improvement rather than solely relying on general power output metrics.
