What’s Measured
We test maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 MAX), peak power output (PPO) and metabolic thresholds.
Why Do it?
All of these variables have been associated with endurance performance. Regular monitoring of the changes in these variables can be used to quantify training adaptation.
**The data collected during the test are used to identify individualised training zones.
