Fitness levels, and any specific goals or challenges you may have. This information will help our team tailor the testing and coaching to meet your individual needs.
The Human Performance Unit offers incremental cycle and treadmill tests, which are a fantastic way to get to know your physiology. These tests establish various physiological measures, including lactate thresholds and VO2 max. These measures are crucial in determining your individualised training zones. With this information, our sports scientists can help you plan your training more effectively and optimise each session.
The data collected from the incremental exercise tests will be used to determine your individualised training zones. These training zones are essential in optimising each training session and helping you achieve your goals more effectively. By training smarter, you can make the most out of your workouts and push yourself to new levels of performance.
Monitoring changes in fitness is key to continuing improvement. With repeat testing, you can track changes in your performance over time. Our sports scientists will update your training zones based on these changes, ensuring that your training plan remains effective and aligned with your evolving fitness levels.
