Metabolic – VO2 Max testing
We use the results of metabolic testing to develop personal heart rate (or power) training zones for each athlete. Precisely knowing VO2 Max, lactate threshold, and aerobic threshold increases the effectiveness of training. This test also objectifies the efficiency of an athlete's movements by telling exactly how much oxygen is used to produce a certain amount of power or speed.
Physiological testing and interpretation can:
- Identify specific physiological indices that influence performance
- Identify specific calorie needs during exercise
- Identify an athlete's physiological strengths and weaknesses
- Allow athletes and coaches to make informed decisions about training schedules
- Provide a truly individualized training program
- Help prevent injury and over training
Repeat testing enables athletes and coaches to monitor the effectiveness of training and make modifications when required. This test not only shows where your personal zones are set, but helps to uncover the "why" behind where they are.

Range of motion (ROM) testing
Typically reserved to injury rehabilitation, is especially useful prior to the season to obtain information on an athlete's degree of flexibility, to detect any deficiencies in bilateral symmetry, and to identify musculoskeletal restrictions that could lead to injury.
