Aerobic Performance Package

Service Description

The Aerobic Performance Package includes a VO2max test and a lactate threshold test. Either test is conducted on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. The VO2max test brings the athlete to maximal effort within 15 minutes and provides useful data such as maximal heart rate, metabolic efficiency, and ventilatory data. The lactate threshold is a modified version of the VO2max test, lasting longer with longer individual stages. The athlete works at gradually increasing workloads while having a small blood sample taken at the end of each stage. The highest exercise intensity that can be sustained for approximately an hour is obtained, and the athlete can use this value to modify their workout intensity of their personal training program.
