Physiological Lab Testing

Physiological lab testing for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of their current fitness, training application and potential performance

Book a session
Test, don't guess

We have extensive experience in performance testing of cyclist, triathletes and other endurance athletes. Physiological testing sessions can provide an understanding of current fitness levels and potential performance, identify training zones and to guide training and racing fuelling and pacing strategies. Athletes can get a full fitness assessment or undertake specific tests such as aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, VO2 max, fat and carbohydrate oxidation, running economy and cycling efficiency. 

What our testing testing entails :

  • Lab testing using gold standard equipment based in south London.
  • Detailed report with data based on your testing and needs.
  • Personalised training zones
  • Assess fuel utilisation to inform training and racing strategies
  • Event or race pacing strategy recommendations
  • Insights into how your physiology compares with others – from general population to world class elite

Aerobic Fitness Assessment

£200

 Accurately determine both lactate thresholds, mechanical efficiency and measure maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). This gives us a complete insight into the athlete’s physiology and how to apply it effectively in the field.

 

Lactate Threshold Testing

£165

Allows us establish individualised training zones that are the key to successful training. The test consists of a step protocol (GXT) where blood lactate is sampled throughout the test.

Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max)

£155

A graded exercise test to measure maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). The test duration is approximately 15 to 25 minutes with fast increase of intensity until failure.

Substrate utilisation (FAT Max)

£180

A test that measures maximal fat oxidation capacity and the results can be used to optimise low-intensity training.
