Performance Physiological Testing

We offer competitive athlete performance testing packages for all athletes, from novice to competitive. The packages include a consultation where we look in to your training history and goals, followed by a full analysis and interpretation of results, to give you advice to use immediately in your training.

As part of the testing, we take into consideration the demands of the sport you compete in. We use first-class equipment and pride ourselves on the quality of the advice and service we provide.

VO2max – £70.00 (1 hour)

Includes – initial consultation, health screening, VO2max assessment and detailed written PDF report.

  • Maximal oxygen consumption – in basic terminology ‘the size of your engine’
  • The gold standard to assess endurance capacity
  • Can be used to identify future potential
  • Identify training zones using ventilatory threshold identification

Lactate Threshold Assessment – £80.00 (90 minutes)

Includes – initial consultation, health screening, lactate threshold assessment and detailed written PDF report.

  • To identify the two distinct transition points – lactate and anaerobic thresholds
  • To measure running/cycling economy
  • Set accurate training zones for easy/steady, tempo/threshold and VO2max intervals
  • Measure training adaptations after a training intervention
  • Assess substrate utilisation at different intensities to help set fuelling strategies
  • Identify race pace to allow for more informed pacing strategies and potential finish times
  • To identify and monitor an individual’s ability to perform sustained exercise at given intensities

Combined VO2 max & Lactate Threshold Assessment – £110.00 (90 minutes)

Includes – initial consultation, health screening, combined assessment and detailed written PDF report.

  • To identify and monitor an individual’s ability to perform sustained exercise at given intensities
  • To identify VO2max, the maximal amount of oxygen an individual can utilise during intense, maximal exercise
  • The most accurate way to establish energy requirements and substrate utilisation at any given exercise intensity
  • To identify accurate training zones for training and racing purposes which can be linked to heart rate and running speed/power
  • Assess current cardiovascular and respiratory health

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – £70.00 (1 hour)

Includes – initial consultation, RMR assessment and detailed PDF written report.

  • Provides accurate daily calorie requirements at rest
  • Identify calorie requirements across different training days
  • Identify substrate utilisation
  • Essential for accurate dietary interventions

Body Composition Analysis – £50.00 (45 mins)

Includes – initial consultation, body composition assessment and detailed PDF written report.

Using state of the art BIA technology to accurately assess your body fat percentage, lean mass and estimated daily calorie requirements.
