this sounds quite interesting The guy is Bruce Rogers from Univ Central Florida: links to his researchgate page with available papers:

There is also a podcast I have not had time to listen to but it sounds interesting. They have a smart phone app that along with a proper heart rate strap can determine your aerobic threshold in real time. Sounds intriguing for something new to the area of fitness measurement. From one paper they concluded:" it appears that reaching a DFA a1 value of .75 on an incremental treadmill test is closely associated with crossing the first ventilatory threshold. As training intensity below the first ventilatory threshold is felt to have great importance for endurance sport, utilization of DFA a1 activity may provide guidance for a valid low training zone."
From other info it seems one can see this happen in other workouts in real time to get an indication of when one crosses that aerobic threshold line/ barrier.
What have others heard about this or what is the info others have that can contribute to this discussion?
