01 · PROFILE
Establish static capacity, dynamic utilisation, pattern stability and the rider-specific margin before prescribing.
VST method
From measured margin to field transfer.
VST is not a generic instruction to reduce ventilatory frequency. It is an individual decision system linking the rider’s ventilatory capacities to the pattern they can sustain under competitive load.
Integrated workflow
02 · ANALYSE
Cross-reference ventilation with power, gas exchange, cardiac response, muscle oxygenation, heat, altitude and position.
03 · TRAIN
Develop awareness, mobility, strength/endurance, CO₂ tolerance and integrated ventilatory strategies in the correct order.
04 · TRANSFER
Move the trained pattern into outdoor sessions, fatigue, competition position and the actual power demands of the rider.
What VST is not
- Not a universal low-frequency ventilatory prescription.
- Not a substitute for clinical diagnosis.
- Not an isolated ventilatory-muscle intervention.
- Not selected unless profiling identifies a meaningful margin.
Full VST architecture
The webpage is the map. The monograph is the method.
Eight integrated chapters and a five-block operational appendix document the rationale, physiology, profiling framework, intervention sequence, instrumentation and field transfer.
