PHYSIOLOGY TESTING
Physiology allows your body to perform. We evaluate the most objective data, such as blood lactate levels and wattage. This data is used to interpret current fitness, evaluate strengths and weaknesses, and compare current performance capacity with potential capabilities.
LACTATE THRESHOLD ASSESSMENT $150
Lactate testing is an excellent assessment of fitness and form. This test provides the data about genetic capacities and current capabilities. We utilize a unique blood lactate assessment based on the FaCT Canada protocol using blood lactate level, wattage, and heart rate. Our unique protocol provides the data needed to create an appropriate training plan. Training zones based on heart rate and/or wattage are available. Having performed these tests for over a decade on cyclists and triathletes, we will provide a logical and practical interpretation of your results to offer you the knowledge to affect the way your are training.
POWER PROFILING $75
Power profiling allows us to evaluate your strengths and weakness by assessing your watts per kilogram capabilities at landmark time intervals. This test involves a specific field testing protocol to evaluate neuromoscular power, anaerobic capacity power, maximal aerobic power, and threshold power. The test is done using a powermeter. If you do not have a powermeter, we have them available for rent or purchase. From the data, we interpret your strengths and weaknesses, comparing your data to the watts/kg chart to determine your ranking in competitive categories.
BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT $25
Interested in knowing your body composition? We use the gold standard Lange skinfold calipers to obtain your percentage of lean versus fat mass. This is an accurate estimation of your body composition. The complete test with calculations and discussion of results will take 30 minutes to complete.
