What is it?

This test reveals how well your body burns fat during exercise, and the intensity at which it switches to primarily using carbohydrates. It identifies the exact intensity where your body is most fuel-efficient, along with the zone you should train in to maximize fat utilization.

​

How does it work?

The test begins at a moderate intensity, with speed or resistance gradually increasing until you reach your first Ventilatory Threshold (VT1). Throughout, our state-of-the-art metabolic cart continuously analyzes your breath to assess oxygen use, fuel source, and energy output.

​

Who is it for?

This test is ideal for anyone aiming to improve endurance, increase fat-burning efficiency, or tailor their training to support body composition goals.

​

Why is it useful?

This is the most accurate way to measure your fat-burning capacity. Whether you’re an elite athlete or completely fresh to fitness, it helps you identify your optimal fat-burning intensity and improve Metabolic Efficiency over time.

​

What do I get?

Following your assessment, you'll receive a detailed report interpreting your fat and carbohydrate usage at sub-maximal intensities, Maximum Fat Oxidation (MFO) point, heart rate at MFO, and personalized Zone 1 and 2 heart rate, pace/or power training intensities, an detailed instructions on how best to implement them into your training routine.

​

Data obtained:

Maximum Fat Oxidation (MFO) Point, Ventilatory Threshold 1 (VT1), Caloric Expenditure, Active Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER), Fat vs. Carbohydrate Utilization.
