VO2 Max, Lactate and RMR Testing

What is VO2 Max?

VO2 Max testing, the gold standard for cardio fitness, measures your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise. The higher your VO2 Max, the fitter you are. It will help you personalise your training zones, understand your cardiovascular health, and has a limit you can improve through training for better endurance.

Lactate testing measures how your body uses energy during exercise. By analysing lactate (a byproduct of energy production), it reveals your lactate threshold – the intensity where your body struggles to clear lactate. Knowing this helps optimise training zones for better performance, monitor progress, and prevent overtraining, ultimately making you a smarter, stronger athlete.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing will allow you to see how many calories your body burns at rest, the baseline for your daily energy needs. This helps with weight management by setting realistic calorie goals, understanding your body’s metabolism, and informing personalised nutrition plans.
