Testing & Validation

In science, business and yes, sports… the saying is valid, to wit:

“If you can measure it, you can improve it.” you can improve it.”

We will be providing our Metabolic Testing services as part of this program. These tests measure your VO2max, VT1* & VT2* as well as showing you the unique way your body burns fuel in each stage of a sustained effort. Not only is it the most reliable way to establish your training Heart Zones®, but this information can be used to help reshape or train your metabolism to improve your body’s efficiency.

We recommend Winter Training participants take 2 tests; (1) at the beginning of the 12-week program and (2) after the program to measure the progress and value of the training.

But I'm Not a Pro

Metabolic Testing will translate well for both the avid or recreational rider, and the competitive rider as well. Regardless of your riding or fitness level, no one should waste valuable time "guessing" whether they are applying the appropriate amount of training stress to their body to get results. In addition, we will do numerous field tests during the winter training program for Heart Zones and Power Training to give us key markers for performance or fitness evaluations along the way.

Where Do I Get Tested?

We will provide references for testing services in your area if you are not able to find a location. Also, a number of the health clubs that will be offering the Winter Training Program will host "Testing Events". At these events you will be able to sign-up for a time-slot for your test.

Each test takes approximately 45-60 Minutes.
