Hi Rob,

Thanks for the data. I sure the doc's and various experts around here will be able to appraise the results and answer any questions you have.

Firstly, I can see you are a pretty fit guy from the VO2 figures!

The second observation I would make is that the results consistently indicate that at about 3-4 mins into the test is when CO2 production starts to overtake Oxygen consumption. This would suggest that CO2 is being retained for some reason. By the end of each of the tests the VCO2 figure is around 20% greater than the VO2.

These sort of tests have been done by the US NEDU to evaluate the Prism (and maybe other CCRS?). At least the prism results can be found by linking from SMIs website.

I'm sure you'll generate some interest - nice post.
Cheers
AB
