I’m glad that info helped. The only reason I can figure that most labs don’t allow enough gradual warm up time is that they are trying to maximize the $/hour they get from the tests. I would hope they understand well enough that the aerobic metabolism takes many minutes to come to full capacity and if you rush it with too fast a ramp rate or too short of a warm up you will miss the lower threshold.
I also prefer field tests to lab tests. Especially if you have a lactate meter.
Keep up the good work! This stuff is not rocket science and just understanding a few basics will get a long way.
