A high oxygen consumption test was performed to evaluate the ventilatory threshold, the efficiency of the cardio-circulatory and respiratory system as well as the maximum power parameters. Finally a sprint test that allows us to get information on the athlete’s fast and explosive qualities. Fabio has presented, despite the period away from the bike, in excellent condition and ready to face the top of the season» explains Andrea Morelli, head of Mapei Sport’s movement and cycling analysis laboratory.
