Both tests are conducted at the same time measuring the VO2, VCO2, heart rate, speed (running) or wattage (cycling), lactate (fingertip samples) during
exercise with a gradual increase in intensity. The intensity starting off from easy and with each stage increasing in difficulty. There are several factors that will determine the starting point for each individual. We'll match the testing protocol that would be appropriate for you whether it be walking, hiking, jogging, or running.
The objective is to determine your aerobic base/threshold, anaerobic threshold, and VO2 Peak / max. After identifying these metabolic markers, you will know exactly the
intensity level you should exercise at to achieve your fitness goal.
Training zones are
scientifically determined and
can be incorporated into a fitness, performance and/or weight loss
training program by you or your preferred
exercise professional.
