V̇Omax & Lactate Threshold Testing

Testing options:

Full Comprehensive Cardiorespiratory
& Metabolic Performance Test:
$300

Learn your complete physiological profile — including your VO₂max, lactate thresholds, VLamax, and exercise economy — to better understand your aerobic capacity, metabolic efficiency, respiratory control, and performance across low-, moderate-, and high-intensity exercise.

This test includes:

  • VO₂max testing
    Quantifies maximal aerobic capacity and overall endurance ceiling

  • Lactate threshold profiling (LT1 & LT2)
    Identifies key metabolic transition points used to establish accurate training zones and sustainable intensity ranges.

  • VLamax
    Estimates maximal lactate production rate, providing insight into glycolytic contribution and intensity tolerance.

  • Exercise economy (running or cycling)
    Evaluates how efficiently you convert energy into speed at submaximal intensities.

  • Substrate utilization & caloric expenditure
    Assesses relative carbohydrate vs fat use and energy cost across intensities to inform fueling and pacing strategies.

  • Individualized heart rate training zones
    Zones derived from physiological thresholds rather than age-based formulas.

  • Database comparison
    Compare your results to our local test database of 300+ individuals, spanning ages 14–84 and VO₂max values from 23–87 mL/kg/min, to provide meaningful performance context.

  • Training recommendations
    Training guidance based on your physiological profile, metabolic characteristics, and primary performance limiters.

V̇O₂max: $200

Measures VO₂max and respiratory/metabolic responses to exercise. Provides data on caloric expenditure (kcal/hr), exercise economy, and respiratory function.

Lactate Threshold: $200

Used to track/track progress compared to initial testing. Reveals insight into metabolic efficiency & athlete subtype (fast twitch or slow twitch dominant). Useful for follow-up testing and monitoring training adaptations.
