VO2 Max Testing
VO2 Max has long been considered the gold standard of cardiovascular
fitness and capacity.
SportsLab of Real Fitness, Inc. is equipped to devise an individualized
protocol that will determine your VO2 Max (maximum oxygen uptake). The
higher your number, measured in milliliters of O2 per kilogram of body
weight per minute, the more fit you are. We are also able to determine
your true Max Heart Rate during this test. Improvements in Max VO2 over
time can reflect a heightened performance capacity.
Anaerobic Threshold Determination
Endurance athletes produce lactate at all work intensities, including at
rest. The less lactate you produce at any given intensity, the more
aerobically fit you are. Through a series of progressively faster running
stages, SportsLab of Real Fitness, Inc. can measure your lactate
production for each speed and create an individualized lactate curve.
Using an individualized protocol, we are able to pinpoint your aerobic
threshold and anaerobic threshold, both of which are key training
parameters. A reduction in heart rate and lactate for any given running
speed can be indicative of improved performance capacity.
