Steve Neal at CrossfitOrangeville.com has been performing fact tests for years. With the new addition of respiratory analysis the ability of the testing to show what system is limiting performance is improved greatly .
-measuring Forced vital capacity (biggest breath)
- setting up gadgets and explaining the test
Just a pin prick for lactate analysis

only simple small detail:
fact testing is actually FaCT testing for the people who developped this test idea.
Second. The problme is, that the FaCT assesment to try to find a "magical" number and in this test the LBP ( lactate balance point ) actually does not work as origionally thought. Problme is the preload and after load, which directly influence the outcome of the LBP togther with the problme of the limitation in a specific person. If the cardiac system is the limitation than the outcome of the LBP is very different depending on the pre and post load in the assessment.
This just a s a small not important part of the great blogs. Remember :
IF A NEWLY DISCOVERT FACT CONTRADICTS A CURRENT THEORY,
THAN THE THEORY HAS TO BE MODIFIED OR DISCARDED TO ACCOMODATE THE NEW FACT. ( Aristoteles )
2. T. Noakes :
" The greatest single achievement of science in this most scientifically productive of centuries is the discovery that we are profoundly ignorant. I wish there were some formal courses in medical school on medical ignorance; textbooks as well, although they would have to be very heavy volumes. We have a long way to go.
Indeed, the beauty of the Textbooks of Ignorance would be their accuracy. I am reminded of these quotations whenever a scientist expounds the ignorance of absolute certainty. Regardless of any appearance of individual brilliance, we are each profoundly ignorant. And never more so than when we are absolutely certain of our most brilliant opinions."
Keep this in mind when reading studies and research articles.
