Running
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.
Use the Sportstest™ to determine at what speeds and heart rate your body hits the different fuel burning thresholds, moving from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism and influencing your endurance performance. How efficient are you at different speeds? What is your sub max efficiency and how can you improve it?
If you are training for a particular event such as a 5k, 10k, half marathon or full marathon the demands are different. Train smarter knowing your thresholds, scientifically measured maximums and required fuel intake to support your effort.
The test includes detailed physiological analysis of running performance (during treadmill running), including measurement of VO2 max, peak running speed, maximum heart rate, sub-maximal running economy, threshold determination, and scientifically predicted race ability. We can also do a calculation of fuel utilisation at race intensities if required.
