| Conconi-test | The Conconi test is a relatively simple field test that measures the heart rate at different predefined intensity levels. It can be used to estimate the anaerobic threshold, a point at which the body predominantly uses the anaerobic energy system. The test was first described by Italian Sport Scientist Francesco Conconi in 1982. | |
| Critical power | Critical power (CP) is a concept based on the hyperbolic relationship between power output and the time that the power output can be sustained. The relationship can be described based on the results of a series of timed all-out predicting trials. | |

| Fatigue 2 | This is basically how much carbs are stored in the body. | |

| Tmax | This is the ability to accelerate. | |
| VO2tot | VO2tot represents the total amount of oxygen (VO2) required to resynthesize all the ATP that is utilized at a given intensity. However, in reality, there is always some glycolysis (vLa) and sometimes also a change in [GP] that results in the actual VO2 having a different value. |
