Substrate Utilization (fatmax)

Substrate utilization shows whether your body is burning mostly fat or mostly carbohydrates at different exercise intensities. Knowing at what intensities and to what extent your body relies on these fuels helps guide both training and nutrition strategies, improving energy efficiency, endurance, and overall metabolic health.

Lactate Threshold (LT)

Lactate threshold is the point during exercise where your body starts producing lactate faster than it can clear it, signaling a shift from mainly aerobic to anaerobic energy usage. A higher LT means you can go faster and harder for longer and is valuable for both performance and smart, sustainable training.

Zone 2

Zone 2 refers to a moderate, sustainable exercise intensity where your body relies heavily on aerobic metabolism and efficiently uses fat as fuel. Determining your true Zone 2 ensures you’re training at the right effort to build endurance, improve fat metabolism, and support long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health without excessive stress or fatigue.

Wingate

The Wingate test is a 30-second, all-out sprint on a stationary bike that measures explosive power, anaerobic capacity, and fatigue rate. It reveals how strong and powerful your anaerobic system is and can guide training aimed at power, speed, or maintaining fast-twitch function under intense effort.

Blood Pressure Monitor

Central Blood Pressure

Central blood pressure measures the pressure in your aorta, giving a clearer picture of the load on your heart and central arteries than a standard arm cuff reading. It’s emerging as a tool that can provide deeper insight than the standard blood pressure arm cuff, into cardiovascular health, arterial stiffness, and long-term risk, helping to guide early prevention and personalized health strategies.
