OPTIMISE YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR NEXT RACE

ENDURANCE ATHLETE TESTING PACKAGES

The Endurance Performance Protocols are specially designed testing protocols that assess and enhance the key variables important for endurance sport performance - strength, movement proficiency, function, fatigue and cardiovascular fitness.

Our team uses the technologies and strategies used from elite sport to help you achieve your goals, improve key athletic qualities and help you get ready for your next event in prime condition.

We gain data during our protocols on a variety of metrics important for triathlon performance:

  • Motor Control: Described as the initiation, grading, and regulation of movement involving the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
  • Strength Capacity: Also described as strength endurance, capacity measurements and programming assist in improving fatigue resistance of muscles.
  • VO2 Max: Is a measure of the body's capacity to maximally uptake oxygen from the environment and use it in skeletal muscle during intense full-body exercise (maximal oxygen consumption). It is considered the gold-standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness
  • Lactate Threshold: Described as the point at which lactate is produced and accumulates in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed, leading to anaerobic fatigue.
  • Running Gait Deviations: A variety of deviations may be present during the running gait cycle that contribute to reduced efficiency, performance and increased injury risk. These are assessed through our IMU and video analysis technology.
  • Ventilatory Thresholds: Describes the relationship between physical exertion and ventilation. During VO2 Max testing, two key ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are identified, which allows for specific training recommendations that improve these values moving forward.

Gain a complete understanding of your strength, power, metabolic & cardiovascular performance.
Pre-assessment and discussion of training/health goals, history & protocol
Lower limb explosive power, reactivity, and strength assessment using our force plate & gyroscope/accelerometer technology
Combined Advanced Lactate Threshold & VO₂ Max testing - we begin with threshold testing and then have a short rest before starting VO2 Max testing  
Data analysis & reporting using elite software (INSCYD) to understands all aspects of your strength, power, metabolism and performance
Add on further data-interpretation & training recommendations consult for just $110
IDEAL FOR:
Individuals training or competing in an endurance activity (e.g triathletes, cyclists, runners)  looking to gain an understanding of their performance limitations and how to maximise their training effectiveness. Essential for identifying your ideal race pace and accurate training zones which can be used to overcome training plateaus and optimise performance. The additional VO₂ data allows for determination of 3 key values: your maximal heart rate, your VO₂ max, and your running (if completed on treadmill) economy (VO₂ cost at sub-maximal intensities). Force plate & gyroscope/accelerometer testing allows for an understanding of the physical & mechanical factors that may be limiting your performance, allowing for specific strength and conitining recommendations.
Combined Threshold & VO₂ Max (90min)
