Physiological and Performance Testing
Regular physiological testing can be the most overlooked tool to structuring any athletes plan. These tests give your coach the markers needed to customize your plan based on you. Continued testing ensures the coach and the client are working toward the goal in the proper way. It allows us to systematically improve the athlete's performance over an extended period of time.

In a controlled environment you will be led through several tests that give you and your coach information to: train properly, identify weaknesses, monitor progress and predict potential.

Body Composition and BMI
Body composition is analyzed by measuring the ratio of your body's fat mass to its fat free mass. This analysis is completed by our state of the art body composition analyzer. It even analyzes intra- and extra-cellular water to ensure repeat tests are accurate and don't fluctuate with levels of hydration. It will analyze composition in the trunk and each of the limbs. You will be given a report and you can see where you are gaining muscle and where you are losing body fat. All this data helps you and your coach work toward your target weight and body composition.

Resting Metabolic Rate
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the rate at which your body burns calories at rest. It is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic physiological functions. We will perform a resting metabolic rate test to find out exactly what your individual caloric needs are.

This assists your coach in structuring your training and nutritional plan to help reach your health and body composition goals. Monitoring your caloric volume helps us help you lose those unwanted pounds, get lean, and look and perform your very best.

Submaximal/Maximal VO2 Test
The Max VO2 test determines an athlete's maximal capacity to consume oxygen for the purpose of producing energy. It gives a good idea of the potential for an endurance athlete. Your max VO2 figure represents your upper limit of aerobic exercise tolerance. Absolute VO2 max is measured in mL/min. and relative VO2 max is measured in mL/kg/min. Most athletes typically refer to relative VO2 max because body size and weight are important factors in performance.

We can perform cycling specific VO2 tests on our Velotron ergometer or running specific on our Woodway super treadmills. Our certified coach will have you breathe into our metabolic cart system while they run you through a protocol that will take you to the limits or your muscular and aerobic systems. This will measure the volume of oxygen you exhale relative to the amount of CO2 you produce giving us your VO2 max.

Lactate Threshold Test
The lactate threshold test is a critical determinant of performance in endurance sports, and unlike VO2 max can change drastically with training or over the course of your season.

You will perform protocols on our Velotron ergometer or on our Woodway super treadmill while breathing into our metabolic cart system. We will be able to determine your wattage and or heart-rate at Lactate threshold. We also will get a full Metabolic Profile. This tells you how many fat calories and carbohydrate calories you burn at different intensities. This is unique to you and trainable. As your engine becomes more efficient, your metabolic profile changes.

We will use this information to develop a custom training program for you.
