VO2

What it is

Volume of maximal oxygen uptake to be utilized by working muscles. This is a predictor of current and future athletic performance

How we test

Using a state-of-the-art metabolic system, you will undergo progressively harder resistance levels while we monitor key metrics to determine anaerobic threshold, training zones, oxygen consumption, and carbohydrate utilization
This test can be done for cycling by using your personal bike and our in-house CompuTrainer or for running by using a treadmill

With these numbers you will be able to take the guess work out of training and better focus your efforts during each training session
Optimal heart rate and power training zones
Your caloric burn rate (carbohydrates and fats) in each zone
A better understanding of your body

ESTIMATED DURATION: 1.5 hours

RMR

What it is

This at-rest test measures the caloric burn rate your body exhibits, as defined by how many calories burned per day of carbohydrates and fats. This is the minimum amount of calories needed per each day to function

How we test

To get an accurate analysis, you must fast for 12 hours prior to testing, excluding water

What you get

Your daily caloric burn – these numbers are vital in determining key performance nutrition or a weight-loss program
A better understanding of how your body functions

ESTIMATED DURATION: 1 hour
