Cycling
Whether you are training for a specific event or simply looking to improve your overall fitness and wellbeing, Sportstest™ can help you address specific areas of your performance, training and nutrition.
No matter what your level of cycling the one thing we nearly all can do is improve. From a charity rider to a competitive cyclist we are always searching for improved speed and endurance. For triathletes and duathletes performance on the bike can significantly change the event result.
How efficient are you at different speeds? Sprint cyclists want to maximise power and strength. What can you do to go harder for longer in the saddle? Knowing how your physiology reacts as you ride will enable you to train efficiently and optimally.
The Sportstest™ includes full cycling physiological assessment on your own bike, including assessment of your peak power output, VO2 max, power to weight ratio, maximum heart rate, endurance capacity (sub-maximal efficiency) and threshold determination, plus a brief analysis of your cycling position.
