The Human Performance Centre (HPC) offers laboratory-based endurance testing for athletes, recreational runners, cyclists, and individuals seeking to optimise their training.
Our comprehensive assessment includes:
VO₂ Max Testing
VO₂ max represents the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during exercise and is considered the gold standard measure of aerobic fitness. Understanding your VO₂ max provides valuable insight into your endurance potential and current fitness level.
Lactate Threshold Testing
Lactate threshold is one of the strongest predictors of endurance performance. Through incremental exercise testing, we identify the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate, enabling precise training zone prescription and more effective pacing strategies.
Running Economy Assessment
Running economy evaluates how efficiently you use oxygen at submaximal running speeds. Improved running economy can enhance performance without necessarily increasing VO₂ max, making it an important measure for runners of all abilities.
What You'll Receive
- Comprehensive physiological assessment
- Individualised training zones
- Detailed performance report
- Expert feedback and interpretation
- Practical recommendations for training and performance improvement
