And the second point also is that what happens because obviously when you are an endurance athlete, like a triathlete or a marathoner, for example, is that you need to have a sustainable energy supply for the duration of the event. And obviously the faster you can go off your potential for that duration, the more beneficial it is.

So that means also that your utilization, maybe come back to this a little bit because VO2max is one of the terms we're going to define.

So utilization normally, just to take that term then, or let's say partially, let's define utilization. Utilization is basically, normally you can do it as whatever you want. You can do it as a raise space, oxygen consumption at raise space versus your view to max.

But very often in scientific literature, we define this as, for example, your oxygen consumption at maximum active steady state versus view to max. So for example, if it was Then it could be that your maximum is a steady state. You see the oxygen consumption there is, for example, 80% of your VO2 max. Is that what you would typically see in an elite athlete? That's low. That's low. That's low.

For a marathoner, you would go even higher. So for a marathoner like the elite marathoners, you're talking about 94, 95% of the VO2 max. For Christian Gusto, when they do Ironmans, you're also pretty much around there.

So VO2max is normally defined as the maximum oxygen your body is able to consume over a minute, a full minute. But this is also something that is debated, is less of, let's say, protocol influenced. You can still go out and do, for example, efforts out in the field and you will be able to produce higher numbers than what you would be able to do on a standard graded exercise protocol.

Normally, I would say that should be the case. But it is also where there can also be other factors also involved in it. One of the places where this is something that have quite passed me is that, for example, Formula One drivers, they sit in for almost, let's say, one and a half hour with extremely high heart rates.

So this is, I think also when you are doing this, so it could also be like jet fighters as well.

Yes, exactly. So you could say that in dogfighting, for sure, then I think you will actually be pretty much maybe same as Formula One. But I think that if you're just pushing really high G-forces in one direction, then it would maybe not be as even if it's a prolonged one. The reason for that is because I think that the G-forces, obviously, you're trying to counteract that.

So you're mobilizing every bit of muscles that are in your body in order to stay exactly where you need to stay.
