1 minute power and Vo2max

[Fightin Boba]

Very simple question- to what extent is 1 minute power affected by V02max power, if at all.

Maybe not so simple after all.

I am asking this because I have a very inverted V shaped power curve, and wondering if any of my 5 minute power can or does translate into a 'base' for 1 minute efforts.

Obviously I already plan on doing shorter intervals- and I would infer from the large ratio of 1 minute to 5 minute power that the larger part of 1 minute power is actually anaerobic, and thus largely independent of V02 max.

Any thoughts ?

Just to clarify: you mean one minute maximal power in isolation as a free-standing effort, correct? You do not mean maximal one minute power in the context of some larger effort, such as a 60minute criterium?

Yes, as in a Kilo, or a 4 lap sprint effort at the end of a scratch race.
