The test track Luc Léger-Boucher is a test running for assessing the VMA or maximum aerobic speed. It requires a minimum of 150 m track or, failing that, a flat course and marked every 50 meters and a reader MP3 if you realize the only one.
Performing the test
The test-Luc Leger Boucher starts at a relatively slow pace, which is also awarm-up and then every 2 minutes, increasing speed of 1 km / hour.
The starting speed is selected depending on the rider's level; you must start the test at a lower shape of 5 to 8 km / h his alleged VMA (examples: 7km / h beginners; toughed 10km / h, 14km confirmed / h).
During the test the frequency of the sound signals is accelerating, requiring a gradual acceleration of the race. The purpose of the test is to reach the highest possible level, bearing the number being announced every 2 minutes. For the result to be valid, it must be sure that the subject goes to the limits of its possibilities; it should stop when it can no longer keep pace with the beeps. At this time, it is noted that the bearing is achieved, and this gives an indication of its VMA. This exercise can last for about 15-20 minutes.
Practical running of Leger-Boucher test
The Léger-Boucher test is a progressive proof race with bearings 2 minutes.
Each test takes about participating in the start next to a stud and must adjust his race by passing coincide at a stud with a sound signal; it is easily adjusted after 1 or 2 laps. It is possible to take the test at a fairly wide range of topics at a time. Each group then starts to a pad. The studs are spaced 50m. The person who passed the test can bring a walkman type of tape and a whistle. No audio support the tester can also print the downloadable paces table below, which are given every passage time to the landing VMA 26 km / h. The awarding of the test then requires one or two stopwatches, a whistle and 8 blocks benchmark for the case of a 400m track.
We can also pass the only test with a MP3 player by having previously recorded home beeps punctuating the race pace.
