I am interested in a value that I would call ‘Blood Potential.’ It is basically the amount of time contributed to a static by O2 stored in the blood. All you need to work it out are your two best static times at two different lung volumes (e.g. TLC & RV)
V = larger lung volume
T = best static time at V
v = smaller lung volume
t = best static time at v
BP = ‘blood potential’
Note: T & t should be converted into seconds or fractions of a minute, e.g. 6:45 = 6.75 minutes or 405 seconds
BP = (tV - Tv)/(V - v)
Thus someone with a static of 5:50 with 7L lung volume and 1:48 at 1.6L would have,
BP = (1.8 x 7 - 5.5 x 1.6)/(7 - 1.6)
= 0.704
= 0:42
Therefore the oxygen in their blood supplies them for 42 seconds.
(This doesn’t take into account differing degrees of blood shift between inhale & exhale statics, but it is a good indication nevertheless).
My Blood potential is about 1:10, but I don’t know my volumes for sure. Has anyone heard of any stats that would give a BP of over 2 minutes? For example if Stefane Misfud (WR static) had a lung volume of 8L then he would need a static of 3:36 at 2L to have a BP of 2 minutes.
Someone shoot me down in this clumsy science, but I think there is definitely a value in there worth investigating.
