title: Anaerobic threshold measurement using dynamic neural network models.
abstract: This paper deals with the subject of anaerobic threshold measurements for athletes involved in aerobic or aerobic/anaerobic sports. Traditionally, anaerobic threshold has been determined using invasive tests or using a non-invasive technique using steady-state heart-rate/work rate data. Non-invasive tests have the advantage of not requiring specialised equipment, but the acquisition of steady-state information can be problematic. This paper demonstrates how dynamical data can be used to accurately determine the steady-state heart-rate/work-rate curve (SSHW curve) using neural network dynamic models.
