VO2max Performance Testing: Bike and Run
Performance testing is a key component of any well structured training plan and will ensure you are training at the right intensity at the right time. The information you can gain is potentially invaluable to you and your coach for ensuring optimal training. This season we will be offering both run and bike based assessments.
The first bike tests will be held in Kent (Aylesford) on Sunday 31st October and the run test the following weekend on Saturday November 6th.
Price:VO2 analysis (75mins) £137.50 (10% discount available for coached athletes). Price includes full analysis and results feedback to you and your coach.
What to expect
To measure your VO2max you will perform a maximal exercise test while we measure your oxygen consumption. To do this you will wear a small face mask (that covers your nose and mouth) which will measure your inspired gases while you exercise. During the assessment thetrilife.com will assess the following:
• VO2max
• Lactate Threshold
• Heart Rate Zones
• Power Zones
• Power to weight ratio
• Body Composition
• Economy of motion
• Fuel usage
This information will allow your coach to prescribe training that targets specific energy systems that are unique to you. The test is a continuous incremental protocol that is terminated when you can no longer maintain the required work rate.
