Winter Special: cycling, running & triathlon performance tests.
$50 discount for Enduro performance testing (inc VO2max)
10th August, 2014 - Testing and monitoring during different phases of training & competition provides an excellent means of understanding athletes as unique individuals, and subsequently takes the guess work out of managing sustainable training loads.
Combined sub-maximal steady state & maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) assessments provides valuable information about how individuals respond to interventions that effect performance, including training intensity and volume; tapering; heat and/or hypoxic exposure; changes in body composition; modified nutrition and/or hydration; illness, stress and injuries.
Precision data that is analysed during testing includes (& not limited to) oxygen consumption, ventilation, blood lactate, heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, power output (cycle), speed (running) & body fat content. Subsequently, we can calculate energy demands, economy & ventilatory threshold during exercise.
We provide guidelines to train & recover with precision and structure, commensurate with an individuals unique physiological profile at any given time. Furthermore, baseline data is also intrinsic when seeking solutions to problems that athletes may invariably suffer periodically; including, but not limited to training maladaptation or overtraining syndrome (click here > to read more).
