    • My Stats

    Here are my stats, indicating that I am an Olypmic caliber athlete. These include my results for the VO2max, Wingate and Dunk (body composition) tests, as of Dec 14, 2010:

    General Speed

    Record Cadence (for 14.5 laps) 5.39 steps/second

    If I can maintain this cadence for the (much) shorter distances of the world record holding buildings and towers, then I'll be approximately 2:22.5 faster than the current record holder for the CN tower, whose record of 7:52 has remained unbeaten since 1989! Wish me luck!

    General / Body Composition (Dunk Test)

    Height 179 cm (5’10.5”
    Weight 65.4 kg (144 lb)
    Fat 11.2%
    Fat Mass 7.3 kg (16.09 lb)
    Fat Free Mass 58.1 kg (128.02 lb)

    Aerobic Fitness (VO2max Test)

    Measure My Score
    Absolute VO2max 4.29 (l/min)
    Relative VO2max 65.6 (ml/kg/min)
    Maximum Heart Rate 188 (b/min)
    Ventilation Threshold (VT) 3.94 (l/min)
    HR at VT 172 (b/min)
    VT as a % of VO2max 97% (the technician said this was 7% higher than the highest she has ever seen!)

    Anaerobic Fitness Results (Wingate Test)

    Anaerobic Power: Resistance setting = 0.085 x body weight

    Measure Absolute Relative Resistance Setting
    Peak 30 sec 788.7 Watts12.1 W/kg5.5 kp
    Lowest 30 sec 548.9 Watts8.4 W/kg
    Mean 30 sec 652.7 Watts10.0 W/kg
    Fatigue Index 30.4%

    I'm really looking forward to doing these tests again! Now that I know what to expect, I'm sure my score will go up substantially! We'll see!
