Approximately 50 minutes

Performed either on a treadmill or WattBike, the workload of the test increases in time intervals. This process continues until you reach your physiological maximum. Before the test, we will take a resting finger prick blood sample and at the end of each time interval.

We will identify:

• Detailed lactate profile
• Lactate threshold (with corresponding HR and workload)
• Accurate HR training zones and pacing guidelines

All information collected is analysed and displayed within a detailed physiological report that is sent to you following the test. We will also provide recommendations on how to utilise the data to optimise your training.

Individuals training or competing in an endurance activity looking to gain an understanding of their performance limitations and how to maximise their training effectiveness. Essential for identifying your ideal race pace and accurate training zones which can be used to overcome training plateaus and optimise performance.

Approximately 50 minutes

Performed using the same protocol as Lactate Threshold (see above), with additional breath-by-breath gas analysis wearing a face mask.

In addition to data from the Lactate Threshold Test, you will receive:

• Accurate VO2 Max value
• Running Economy (if you choose treadmill test)

All data is displayed within the physiological report received following the test, providing comprehensive analysis of your physiological response and how you can harness the data to optimise your training.

12-months following initial test

Two Lactate Threshold tests to be used at any time within our working hours over a 12-month period.

Receive a more in-depth physiological report, displaying information from both tests to allow comparison.

12-months following initial test

Two combined tests to be used at any time within our working hours over a 12-month period.

Receive a more in-depth physiological report, displaying information from both tests to allow comparison.

Approximately 120 minutes

Receive a comprehensive battery of our physiological tests specific to your sport: 

• Body composition assessment 
• Enhanced sport-specific movement screen
• Tissue capacity
• Sport-specific speed / power / jump testing
• Lactate threshold and VO2 Max combined

Following our Elite Athlete Test you will receive a detailed report. The report includes information about each test and its relevance to performance, individual data analysis and interpretation, comparison of values with normative data and elite athletes, recommendations for training and steps to improve performance, as well as specific heart rate training zones.

Individuals wanting to gain a deeper understanding of their physiology in order to take their performance to the next level.
