What is it?

Metabolic Performance Analysis evaluates how efficiently you obtain and utilise oxygen during exercise. It identifies your current level of cardiorespiratory fitness and provides the key physiological metrics required to optimise your performance.

​

How does it work?

The test commences at a moderate intensity and the speed on a treadmill, or resistance on a stationary bicycle, is increased until you reach maximum effort. Throughout the test, our state-of-the-art equipment measures how effectively your heart, lungs, and muscles obtain and utilise oxygen to produce energy, along with the calories burned and the ratio of fat to carbohydrates utilised.

​

Who is it for?

This assessment is perfect for anyone looking to establish their current level of cardiorespiratory fitness and determine the optimal training zone intensities required to enhance metabolic efficiency, endurance, performance and recovery.

​

Why is it useful?

Metabolic Performance Analysis is the most accurate way to establish your current level of cardiorespiratory fitness and determine personalised training zone intensities unique to you and your individual physiology. From elite athletes to individuals completely fresh to fitness, this test provides you with a baseline from which your fitness progress can be measured, along with all of the information required to ensure that your future workouts are as effective and efficient as possible.

​

What do I get?

Following your assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report interpreting your test results, along with personalised training zones and detailed instructions on how best to implement them into your training routine.
