I tracked down the abstract you mentioned. I am posting it here in case somebody is interested.
I am slightly surprised that 9s - 11s sprint is enough to elicit VLamax.
Dan Lorang mentioned in one of his talks/interviews that VLamax is difficult
to measure in the field and that the cycling team (Bora) uses VLamax that
is computed by INSCYD software.
It's too bad that many of VLamax estimation methods rely on proprietary software
and/or proprietary datasets. From my understanding of INSCYD's approach,
the underlying principles have been published and peer-reviewed,
(https://www.researchgate.net/...t_of_the_muscle_cell) but there are still missing components
of various "magic" constants that are needed for the model to produce meaningful numbers.
Some researchers believe that there's no good way of measuring anaerobic capacity (either using
lactate or oxygen deficit approach).
