The goal of the athletic performance test is to determine individualized training zones using lactate and ventilatory information. Heart rates vary greatly among individuals, making it difficult to use generic training zones effectively. Fortunately, tracking blood lactate over increasing intensities enables us to accurately determine personalized training zones. Our state of the art equipment also allows us to measure ventilatory values. The combination of blood lactate and ventilatory values is the best way to create a plan for you and determine your aerobic capacity. Using your test results, we will discover areas for improvement, take your performance to the next level, and make training more fun!
Body composition is assessed via skinfold calipers and included in the price of the athletic profile. Hydrostatic weighing is available for an additional charge.
The VO2 max test can be accomplished with:

The body composition is comprised of a three sight skinfold pinch test using the Lange caliper and the hydrostatic tank. To accomplish the underwater weighing the client will kneel on an area of the tank, blow out all of the air in the lungs, and completely submerge themselves underwater for a 10-15 seconds. The tests are then compared to obtain the best estimate of body fat percent.
There is a 3% margin of error with the skinfold test. As for the tank, it depends
on how much air is blown out of the lungs and the comfort level of the client while
underwater without air in the lungs.
