1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, computer executable instructions that, if executed by a computer system cause the computer system to perform a method to determine a ventilator threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT), said method comprising:
- measuring breathing patterns of a user;
measuring heart rate of said user; and
determining a VT and a RCT for said user based on an analysis of said breathing patterns and said heart rate.

23. A portable apparatus for determining a ventilator threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT), said apparatus comprising:
-
a memory comprising an application for determining a VT and a RCT stored therein; a microphone for recording a breathing of a user; a communicative interface for receiving pulse rate information from said user; a processor coupled to said memory, wherein said processor is configured to operate in accordance with said application to; measure breathing patterns of said user using said breathing recorded using said microphone; measure heart rate of said user using said pulse rate information; and determine a VT and a RCT for said user based on an analysis of said breathing patterns and said heart rate.
