What's included:
-
Alongside discovering your all important VO2 max value, our testing service includes a personalised report. This contains individualised recommendations on how you can train smarter to reach your health and fitness goals.
-
We analyse the data from your test to give insights into your training zones, VT1 and VT2 thresholds, VO2 max and heart rate and respiration. This is invaluable data that helps you understand your body's physiological responds to exercise and track your cardiorespiratory fitness.
What to expect at your VO2 max test
Out testing process is made up of a few simple steps:
-
Before you arrive you will fill out a health and fitness survey to let us know where you are in your fitness journey and what you are working towards so we can tailor the test and our report to your needs.
-
Upon arrival we will talk through the information you have sent us, get you warmed up and ready and explain how the test will work.
-
If you are using a treadmill to complete your test, the intensity starts low at a very gentle speed and low incline. Throughout the test, the intensity gradually increase until you reach your max.
-
Once the test is over, we will help you cool down and briefly talk through your VO2 and our initial observations.
-
After your test we will send you a personalised report, including the VO2, respiratory and heart rate data we collected during your test, our analysis of this, how your VO2 max compares to others and what this means for you. We will use your VO2 max, training zones and VT & 2 to advice you on ways to progress you cardiorespiratory fitness to reach your goals.
-
A few months down the line we advice retesting your VO2 max to monitor your progress and see how well your training is working.
