Metabolic testing takes the guess-work out of individualizing your training.
Combining both a Maximal incremental exercise test (aka VO2max or MAP) & a Submaximial step test (aka Metabolic Efficiency or MEP test) allows much more insight into your unique physiology.
From the Max test we identify;
  • VO2max,
  • training zones,
  • Fat Max,
  • Carb:Fat burn rate at all intensities,
  • Total calories burned at various intensities,
  • Metabolic crossover point,
  • ideal ratios of training modes,
  • muscle fiber type estimation,
  • breathing limitations,
  • strengths & limitations regarding of current training status.
From the Sub-maximal incremental exercise test, we identify;
  • training zones,
  • Fat Max,
  • Carb:Fat burn rate at all intensities,
  • Total calories burned at various intensities,
  • Metabolic crossover point,
  • ideal ratios of training modes,
  • muscle fiber type estimation
  • breathing limitations,
  • strengths & limitations regarding of current of training status.

Description

Maximal incremental exercise test with a metabolic analysis that obtains direct measurements of breathing frequency, volume, VO2, and VCO2.
This allows us to;
  1. Identify your true FatMax
  2. Identify your Fat burning range
  3. Setting your training parameters (aka Heart Rate, Power & Pace zones or ranges) based on what is ACTUALLY occurring metabolically inside your body and NOT based on percentages
  4. Identifying the amount of Fat or Carbs you burn at various intensities
  5. Identifying your Metabolic Efficiency, aka the Crossover point
  6. Identifying the total amount of calories you burn during exercise
  7. Optimizing amount of Cardio to Strength to High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
  8. Identifying Muscle fiber type Ratio (Type 1:Type II or if predominantly slow-twitch or fast-twitch)
  9. Defining specific training, nutritional, and fueling prescriptions to your workload
  10. Identifying limitations with ventilation, breathing, and Oxygen:CO2 exchange
  11. Identifying areas of improvements or if sufficiently accomplished (I.e. if you’ve done enough Base work, too much Tempo (or gray zone), or need HIIT)
Combined with a Sub-Maximal incremental exercise test with a metabolic analysis & longer test stages allowing comparison between energy systems and metrics requiring homeostasis obtained from direct measurements of breathing frequency, volume, VO2, and VCO2.

This allows us to dial-in on:
  1. FatMax
  2. Fat burning range
  3. Heart Rate, Power & Pace zones or ranges
  4. Fat or Carbs utilization by intensity range
  5. Validating Metabolic Efficiency (Crossover) Point
  6. Total calories (expenditure) by intensity range
  7. Establishing fatigue levels from duration or intensity
  8. Validating Muscle fiber type Ratio (Type 1:Type II or if predominantly slow-twitch or fast-twitch)
  9. Defining specific training, nutritional, and fueling prescriptions to your  submaximal workload
  10. Eliminating rapid-onset testing limitations with ventilation, breathing, and Oxygen:CO2 exchange
  11. Identifying areas of improvements or if sufficiently accomplished (I.e. if you’ve done enough Base work, too much Tempo (or gray zone), or need HIIT)
