C. Froome : Accusé de dopage, il publie ses données physiologiques du mois d'août

Chris Froome Body Composi/on & Aerobic Physiology Report Dr. Phill Bell & Ma. Furber Senior Scien6sts GSK Human Performance Lab th 17 August2015 1 Introduc/on & Glossary th On Monday 17August, the GSK Human Performance Lab welcomed two‐Ame Tour de France Champion, Chris Froome, for a series of physiological and body composiAon assessments. These assessments provided rich data, which would aid and inform Chris’s preparaAon for Rio 2016 by providing a baseline from which progression and improvement can be measured. It also serves to quanAfy the integral components of Chris’s physiology that make him an excepAonal endurance athlete. As requested by Froome himself, we are now providing full visibility of the report our scienAsts delivered to him. The report can be seen below. th 17 August2015 2 For reference and guidance when interpre6ng the report, please see key scien6fic defini6ons and descrip6ons below: Submaximal and Maximal Aerobic Profile – When conducAng an aerobic profile test, there are two aspects to invesAgate: firstly, submaximal performance, which assesses the physiological responses to cycling intensiAes that are below a cyclist’s maximal capacity.Typically, this requires cyclists to cycle at a range of intensiAes that are below and above predicted lactate threshold intensity. Secondly, maximal aerobic profiling assesses the physiological responses at the highest possible intensity a cyclist can maintain.
