Your aerobic capacity, measured — not estimated. Laboratory VO₂ Max testing on a COSMED metabolic system, with training zones you can use the same week.
A progressive test to volitional exhaustion — on a treadmill or bike — with breath-by-breath gas analysis via a COSMED metabolic system. INFORMATION REQUIRED — confirm test duration & what to bring/wear
Your maximal oxygen uptake, in ml/kg/min.
How your result compares against normative data for your age and sex.
Your first and second ventilatory thresholds.
Zones derived from your own physiology, not an age-based formula.
How your breathing pattern changes as intensity increases.
A clinician's explanation of what the numbers mean for you.
Runners, cyclists and triathletes using VO₂ Max and training zones to train with intent, break a plateau, or prepare for a race.
Cardiovascular fitness as a measured baseline, not a guess — aerobic capacity is associated with long-term health outcomes.
VO₂ Max is most useful tracked over time — before and after a training block, or at a regular interval as part of a longevity plan.
