At SpeedON performance testing we are utilising the Cardio Coach Pro which is a product developed by KORR Medical Technologies. The Cardio Coach Pro is a gas analyser utilising the “mixing chamber technology which is considered the “Gold Standard” for VO₂ Max measurements. 

About:

1. VO2 max testing

This test refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilise during intense or maximal exercise. It is considered one of the best indicators of an athlete’s cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. This can determine an athlete’s capacity to perform sustained exercise and is linked to aerobic endurance. The data collected can be used to inform individual training zones, monitor progress and address areas of improvement.

This service will provide the individual with a report outlining the assessment finding.

Appointment 60 minutes, test duration 15-30 minutes, RPE 10/10

 

3. Lactate Threshold test

This test looks at the accumulation of lactate in your blood as exercise intensity increases. By examining the lactate curve this test produces, we aim to pick out 2 main thresholds of lactate accumulation. These are the aerobic threshold/ AeT/ LT1 and the anaerobic threshold/ AT/ LT2. These thresholds can be used to inform individual training zones, monitor progress and address areas of improvement. 

 

5. Testing metabolic flexibility and fat utilization

67 hours of zone 1 & 2 training over a 6 week period (84% of total volume) elicited an increase of 40%+ of fat oxidation rate at a HR of 130BPM (Z 2)

-  KNOWLEDGE IS POWER -

By measuring the VO2 and VCO2 ratio of the exhaled breath we can provide data on how efficient you are utilizing fat as a metabolic substrate. Training in the correct intensity domain will allow you to move the needle so to speak and potentially increase your capacity to burn fat at higher intensities.

This knowledge is crucial for a successful fueling strategy during endurance events!

 

 

6. RMR (Resting metabolic rate)

This test allows you to measure the calories burned during a rested state in a sedentary position. With that you can learn about your calorie needs, your energy balance and metabolic health. This is a non-invasive test that can be performed easily and safely while in a seated position. Please allow time for a 30 minute appointment.
