Physiological Testing
Lactate Threshold Testing:
A lactate threshold test will provide you with the following information:
- Accurate heart rate training zones
- Peak aerobic power wattage (cycling) & run velocity
- Lactate & anaerobic threshold (helps predict training & race pacing)
- Technique feedback – eg. Pedal stroke mechanics, bilateral power differences, run technique evaluation
Lactate Threshold Re-Testing:
On-going lactate testing using the same protocol may
provide you
with further information:
- Training progression – if you are physiologically
responding well or poorly to your training regime.
It will help re-establish training & race pacing. - Glycogen depletion – if you are under-nourishing
yourself
around test times - Technique – if it has changed
- Overtraining or fatigue
Lactate tests are cycling, run & triathlon specific.
Cost: $150-$180 per test (depends on protocol used)
*I also offer body composition & other types of
testing. Feel free to ask
if you have a specific testing requirement.
