Data trawl

El Conejo Ingles

Can someone please help me out .

What i'm after is some simple medical data about an indurain, armstrong, ingles type character? :P

Epsecially Peak Flow reading, Blood pressure and resting and maximum heart rate.

It must be out there somewhere!

I'll gladly take a straw poll with peoples own perception of their "level"


It's for a lesson to allow students to make comparisons against something impressive, and to encouarge them onto their bikes.

Grazie mil tutti.

I recall a comentator saying Armstrongs rest heart rate, first thing in the morning, laying in bed was :shock: 32 bpm :shock: . That was just before the start of one of his Tour victories.

cheers, its interesting but not the boy, vO2 max is hard to measure with 11 year olds in lab!!!

Thanks though.

Do a search for "Edward Coyle" - he wrote a research paper about Armstrong, which will have loads of data in it. It'll probably be fairly advanced though.

Would this be before or after they used EPO to raise their VO2 max?
