I am sure this is elementary stuff to those in the know, but I am curious about the shape of the curve defined by my heart rate response to VO2max efforts.
Looking through today's and prior VO2max workouts there seems to be a characteristic shape of this curve where there is a rapid increase in heart rate for the first 40-50 seconds of the interval, and then a less rapid increase through the rest of the interval. The transition point seems to be consistently around 150BPM. My heart rate tops out about about 170 during these intervals. Does the location of that kink mean anything?
I would like to research this a bit, but I am not sure what search keywords would get me to the right places.
