The following tests can be performed on the follow equipment:

  • Dan Sprint Kayak Erg
  • Concept2 Rowing Erg
  • Woodway Treadmill
Maximal Aerobic Capacity (VO2 Max) - $200

VO2 max 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.

 

Lactate Threshold Test - $200

The Lactate Threshold 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 and the anaerobic threshold. These thresholds 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 findings.

 

Combined VO2 Max, Lactate Assessment - $300

A Combined VO2 Max / Lactate Assessment looks at completing both tests in the same testing session which allows a comprehensive summary of an athlete’s ability. You will not only gain aerobic and anaerobic values based from your lactate threshold profile but also an indication of maximal oxygen consumption. This data can be used to inform individual training zones, monitor progress and address areas of improvement.

This service will give you a comprehensive report outlining assessment findings.
