MAP value not taken into account from 5-min test – how to correctly set it?

Hi everyone,

I recently did a 5m test to estimate my MAP. However, Intervals.icu didn’t take it in count. Is anyone knows a solution ?

Thx

Where do you look and how do you know it‘s not taken into account? It doesn‘t take a single power value for estimation, instead it uses the whole power curve.

Maximal aerobic power (MAP) is the power at VO2max (maximum oxygen use) for a given test protocol. T-MAP is the duration for which this power can be sustained. The values depend on the lab or field test protocol. Intervals.icu uses the power duration curve and the method described in Pinot & Grappe 2014. If no value is displayed for a given power curve then the data was not good enough for this methodology. Choose MAP in power chart options to see the regression line and confidence interval described in the paper.

This is the paper:

I look in power settings and in the MAP line, it is empty. I conclued that my test was not good enough. But i dont understand why. I didnt read the paper.

As I said. It‘s not derived from a single value.
Look at your MAP curve. All values should be inside of the confidence interval (Dashed line), except the MAP value (see yellow circle).

Well, that would make it more complicated to plan my workouts.

Thx for your time :wink:
