VO₂ max, lactate thresholds and heart rate zones are often discussed in endurance training, but without objective testing they are frequently based on estimates rather than physiology. The purpose of laboratory testing is not simply to obtain a score. It is to understand how the body responds to in

VO₂ max is one of the strongest indicators of aerobic fitness. It reflects how efficiently your body can take in, transport and use oxygen during exercise. In simple terms, it represents your capacity to produce energy aerobically and sustain harder efforts for longer. The higher your VO₂ max, th

One of the most valuable parts of lactate testing is identifying your two key thresholds. Lactate Threshold 1 (LT1) marks the upper limit of easy aerobic training and typically corresponds to the end of Zone 2. Lactate Threshold 2 (LT2) is the point where lactate begins to accumulate rapidly and e

Most athletes are training in estimated zones. A VO₂ max and lactate threshold assessment provides objective data on how your body responds to increasing exercise intensity. During the test, speed gradually increases every three minutes. At the end of each stage, blood lactate and perceived effort
