METABOLIC ASSESSMENTS

No more guessing at how many calories you burn at rest or which cardio zone to train in and for how long. Stop guessing, know your physiology, train with a purpose.

The assessment is made up of three main parts:

 

Metabolism at rest

How many calories you burn at rest, and what kind. Carbs vs Fats

Metabolism while you exercise

VO₂ max and substrate utilization per zones

Respiratory analysis

Air volume potential, breathing efficiency at rest and during exercise

 
 
 

The active metabolic assessment (VO₂ max) is a combination of how well your body takes in oxygen, uses that oxygen for fuel, and how well it excretes it out the body.

VO₂ max is important. However, if you are an endurance athlete, more important is how well your body can utilize your VO₂ max. In other words, what % of your VO₂ max can you train at for hours on end?

 
 

Examples of metabolic biomarkers we gather:

  • VO₂ max

  • Maximum fat oxidation

  • Aerobic Threshold

  • Anaerobic Threshold

  • Breathing frequency at all intensities/zones

  • Tidal Volume at all zones

  • Peak Tidal volume

  • RER at each zone

  • RER Max

  • Heart Rate recovery
