From Sprint to Ironman you are challenging your body (and mind) to perform at its best and to ensure your best performance you need to understand how you operate in each of the sports. With this in mind Sportstest™ offer a Triathlon specific comprehensive package which includes cycle and run tests and nutrition advice.

So for a new triathlete getting started the Sportstest™ is invaluable in ensuring you get on a tailored training program and for the more seasoned athlete we include a review of your training program to date.

Your 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.

In addition a 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. At Sportstest™ we can also provide a calculation of fuel utilisation at race intensities if required.

The triathlon Sportstest™ is also suitable for duathletes and individuals undertaking adventure racing!
