1. Description
   
2. Protocol type
   Describes the performance unit that will be used to execute the sport lab test.

4. Load
   Time or distance depending on selected load type.
5. Initial load
   First load to start the sport lab test in step 1.
6. Change of load
   Defines the amount of performance added to the previous step expressed as speed, watt or heart rate.
7. Target load
   Enter the target load expressed as speeds, watt or heart rate to define the estimated final load. This could be a known maximum or a target above the known maximal performance.
8. Number of steps
   Automatically calculated from previous protocol data or a free input number.
9. Lactate points/step
   Number of lactate measurements /step.
10. Rest between steps
    Rest time between steps.
11. Exposure
    Maximal or submaximal exertion prescription.
12. Ergospirometry
    Sport lab test with or without gas analysis.
13. Sport lab test devices
    Description of test, heart rate, lactate and VO2 gas analysis devices.
