These assessments are designed for people who are serious about advancing the physiological performance in a sport or activity with the aid of applied science.

VO² Max Lactate Profiling Running Economy vVO² Max TlimvVO² Heart rate analysis Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Echocardiogram (ECHO) Proprioceptive balance

This assesses the highest rate of oxygen consumption of which the athlete is capable. This test is the most accurate way to assess the athletes’ aerobic capacity, using the most accurate form of online breath-by-breath gas analysis using Med Graphics CPXD. Using either digital or analogue methods via finger prick or ear lobe assessment; blood lactate levels are measured to gain lactate threshold and turnpoint in relation to velocity and heart rate to provide accurate training zones. Analysis of oxygen over different speeds and gradients over specific times to assess how much oxygen the athlete uses when running. The athlete’s velocity at VO2 max which indicates the maximum speed at which their muscles can still utilise oxygen without suffering from fatigue. This is the time limit velocity at VO2 max. This gives a detailed indication of how long the athlete can physiologically go for at this velocity. Full interpretation of heart rate from resting through to maximal level, with all corresponding levels associated during test to VO2 and others assessments. This assesses the functioning and structure of the athletes’ heart for any possible abnormalities.   Athletes’ from all sports can utilise this method of training proprioceptive balance, while also using it to support and assess rehabilitation.

All of these assessments are available to anyone and a test can be tailor made for the athlete, however this will require consultation with the Sports Scientist prior to assessment to ascertain the most appropriate assessments needed. Prices may vary dependent on what is required, consultation with the Sports Scientist prior to assessment will be needed to confirm cost of assessment. Guide to prices:
