Physiological Testing
Know your fitness profile with precision.
Individual Physiological Testing
We test athletes who compete in any sport, at any level. Our fitness analysis methods are informed by 20 years’ experience of sport science testing, and evidence-based research. An analysis of your fitness strengths and weaknesses will help to accurately define your training plans and ensure you reach your goals.
Our Physiological Testing:
VO2 max testing
A high VO2 max normally correlates to high endurance performance. This is the gold standard test for measuring your aerobic capacity. From this analysis, we can accurately define your heart rate zones for endurance, speed, and threshold training sessions, and different target race paces.
Details:
Our NEW portable VO2 Master metabolic analyser is Bluetooth enabled, completely wireless and tubeless.
You will receive a detailed report of your cardiorespiratory demands, including measures such as VO2, Ve, and heart rate.

Blood lactate testing
Lactate profiling provides an accurate analysis of how your body energy demands are fuelled by either aerobic or anaerobic mechanisms. We can determine your ‘thresholds’ so that you can maximise your physiological adaptions in training, and setting race paces.
Details:
A cycling or running test which gradually increases in demands
We monitor your power or pace, and heart rate alongside blood lactate from fingertip blood samples.
