What is a VO2 max test?

A VO2 max test is a physiological assessment that measures the maximum volume of oxygen your body uses in response to exercise at increasing intensities.

This is used to determine your aerobic capacity and your physical fitness.

Our test involves exercising to exhaustion on a treadmill or one of our Wattbikes while wearing a mask that measures the amount of oxygen used.

VO2 max testing is used to assess the effectiveness of your training and conditioning. It can also be used to identify whether you may benefit from additional training or are at risk of overtraining. VO2 max testing also helps us to assess an individual's endurance and physical performance potential in specific sports.

What is a lactate profile test?

Measuring your lactate profile allows us to understand how your body responds to exercise of increasing intensities and This aids the development of bespoke training zones using heart rates, lactate, perceived exertion and speed to help you program a more specific training programme to enhance performance.

After this test a maximal ramp test measures your VO2 max to help you understand your maximum performance potential.
