Elite Runner Performance & Efficiency Testing at GymTherapy provides data-driven and reliable insights into your running efficiency, mechanics, metabolism and performance. It combines both our VO2 Master and Lactate Pro Plus Meter, to gain valuable data about your thresholds, VO2 Max and training zones. Specific speeds/paces are assessed to understand how your physiology change and guides specific training interventions to help you achieve your next personal best!
Elite Runner Lactate & VO2 Testing at GymTherapy includes:
1. In-Depth Pre-Assessment Screening & History
An in-depth discussion is had to understand your current and historic training, along with an understanding of your goal paces/times for races.
2. Stage 1 - Blood Lactate Threshold Testing
The first stage involves Blood Lactate Threshold testing using the Lactate Pro Plus Meter. We gain resting data and then samples at specific time points. Each protocol is individualised based on the pre-assessment screening form completed to ensure paces set are appropriate to your physiology and goals. A lancet is used to gain a small sample of blood from the tip of your finger.
3. Stage 2 - VO2 Max Ramp Test
The second part of our testing consultation involves VO2 Max testing using the VO2 Master. The mask is fitted and then a ramp protocol is used to establish your VO2 Max.
4. Analysis of Results - Individual Development Plan
Following our assessment, we discuss the key findings specific for you, the potential reasons/factors contributing to your running performance & physiology along with an action plan to address these deficits. A Lactate Threshold report and VO2 Max report is sent to you. A follow-up data interpretation consultation is then organised where we dive deeper into the data and give you key training and performance recommendations to achieve that personal best!
5. Support & Guidance
Throughout the process, continuous support and guidance is provided to ensure you achieve your running goals. Referral as required to our network of coaches may be appropriate to help you on your way to better running. Re-testing is completed to assess your improvement and make specific changes for you to help you continuously improve.
