Auswertung des Conconi-Tests
After the achieved heart rates have been properly recorded in the protocol, you can proceed with the
graphical evaluation of the Conconi Test. Therefore construct a coordinate system as shown in
figure 3
below. The horizontal axis (X axis) represents the performance in watt, starting with the lowest test value.
For the Conconi test this value is, for instance, 60 watts. The vertical axis (Y axis) represents the heart
pulse rate for every test step. In the example below the the heart rate for the first test step (60 watts) is
around 105 pulses per minute, for the second step (80 watts) it is 120 pulses per minute, etc.
After all the heart pulse rate points have been represented in the coordinate system, proceed with
joining the individual points to form the line representing the linear increasing portion of the curve.
In the figure this is the straight line with the steep slope.
The higher points (higher load steps) will generally lie underneath this line. These points can also
be joined by a straight line as shown in the figure (this is the second line with the lesser slope).
The intersection of these two lines is shown
in fig 3 by an arrow.
This intersection point is called the deflection
point and corresponds to the anaerobic Conconi
threshold. In fig. 3 this threshold is at 181 pulses
per minute. This heart rate is determined by
drawing a straight line parallel to the lower axis
(X axis) starting at the deflection point toward left.
The point where this line intersects with the vertical
Y axis (heart rate) is the point we want to determine
(in our example 181 pulses/min.).
The individual training domains can be determined
using the heart rate at the deflection point (in our
example 181 pulses/min.) as shown in figure 4.
The heart rate at the deflection point is assigned
a value of 100 %.
