Physiologic assessments for everyone. Like any tool, it depends on how you use it. If in doubt contact us to learn how assessment can benefit your individual needs.
-
Anyone can benefit from physiologic assessment. Whether it is identifying target training zones or calorie burn the information gathered can improve quality life for all.
-
At the most basic level VO2 is the volume of oxygen that can be processed at a given intensity. VO2max is the maximum oxygen to be consumed before the body must rely on anaerobic sources.
-
No. Lactate is highly variable and difficult to implement correctly in the best lab settings. We instead offer analysis of other physiologic landmarks that correspond to the transition to unsustainable workload or physical activity; such as 2nd Ventilatory Threshold and SmO2 breakpoint.

Recent breakthroughs in near-infrared spectroscopy devices like Moxy Monitor allow continuous measurement of muscle oxygen content. This dynamic measurement is a reflection of metabolic activity on the muscle. Emerging science has shown that trends in muscle oxygenation correspond to more more invasive methods, such as lactate blood draws.
