Frequently asked questions
What is VO₂ max testing?
VO₂ max testing measures your maximum oxygen uptake during intense exercise, helping determine your aerobic capacity.
How does lactate threshold testing work?
Lactate threshold testing identifies the exercise speed/power at which lactate begins to accumulate in your blood, crucial for optimising endurance performance and determining training zones.
How long does a testing session take?
Most testing sessions take 60-90 minutes, including setup, testing protocol, and a detailed results consultation with our performance specialists.
Do I need to prepare for testing?
Yes, avoid intense training 24 hours before testing, stay hydrated, and arrive well-rested. You know your body better than anybody else, but we will provide preparation guidance when you book.
What will I receive after testing?
You will receive a comprehensive personalised physiological report based on results from your test, goals and questions you have (e.g. training, preparation, nutrition, recovery).
How often should I retest?
Retesting is beneficial, depending on your goals and training, testing can be beneficial every 4-6 months, but it is up to you. Retesting provides you a repeated test to track your progress and compare your progress between tests, and how to continue to build on progress made.
