The Conconi test was implemented in 1982 by biochemist Francesco Conconi of Ferrara. The objective of this test is q 
uello indirectly determine the anaerobic threshold, a very important parameter to set the best training as it can get personal training pace (Slow Fund, Fund Long, Middle Fund, Fund Quick, intensity threshold, 4 mmol, VAM and intensity ceiling) with whom you can have a more precise distribution of workloads without incurring risks such as Overtraining (overtraining) may impair the performance of the entire season.
The anaerobic threshold is the intensity (in HR, in power, in km / h) above which aerobic mechanisms alone can not adequately meet the energy demands, resulting in a buildup of lactic acid concentration resulting in a muscle soreness, a sort of signal more intense muscle fatigue up to be unbearable, forcing the athlete to reduce the intensity of exercise.
The protocol of Conconi test is incremental-ceiling, that provides for increases in intensity at regular intervals until they reach exhaustion. The test lasts approximately 15 minutes and the parameters recorded were heart rate and intensity in watts or km / h.
For cyclists the Conconi test is done with your bike on a cycle ergometer resistance aeroedinamica, the test provides increases of 10-20 W every minute depending on the level of the athlete.
For runners instead Conconi test is performed on a treadmill and provides increases of 0.5-1 km / h again depending on the level of the athlete.
Through the study and reached maximum values \u200b\u200bof the graph obtained from the relation of two variables can indirectly identify the athlete's anaerobic threshold.
Test Conconi is therefore a valid method for understanding how best to approach training and to assess the progress of the state of the form by running the test several times during the season.
