Metabolic – VO2 Max testing
We use the results of metabolic testing to develop personal heart rate
(or power) training zones for each athlete. It can also be used to work out how much fat v how much
carbohydrate you are burning as you train. This is of great benefit to all athletes,
if you want to manage your weight and are aiming at a local 10k or to work out how much you should be eating in your
next Ironman.
Precisely knowing VO2 Max, lactate threshold, and aerobic threshold increases the effectiveness of your training. This test is an objective measure of the efficiency of an athlete's movements by telling exactly how much oxygen is used to produce a certain amount of power or speed. This will help us advise you of how you should be training to be most effective.
Physiological testing and interpretation can:
- Identify specific physiological indices that influence performance
- Identify specific calorie needs during exercise
- Identify an athlete's physiological strengths and weaknesses
- Allow athletes and coaches to make informed decisions about training schedules
- Provide a personalised training program
- Help prevent injury and over training
Repeat testing enables athletes and coaches to monitor the effectiveness of training and make modifications when required. This test not only shows where your personal zones are set, but helps to uncover the "why" behind where they are.
