What’s Involved in Metabolic Testing?
Metabolic testing offers an in-depth evaluation of how your body processes energy during exercise. Here's what to expect:
Initial Setup: Choose from treadmill, bike (smart trainer compatible) or rowing ergometer tests. We also accommodate specific sports equipment if you can bring it to our lab.
Testing Protocol: Exercise begins at low intensity and increases every 5 minutes until you reach your lactate threshold (~85% max heart rate).
Data Collection: We measure carbohydrate and fat usage, lactate levels and key intensity markers.
Results and Consultation: Receive actionable insights and an Excel template to craft your race-day nutrition plan.
Optional: Add a body scan (+$50) for precise glycogen storage data, enhancing your pre-race preparations.
What to Bring and Prepare For
Wear comfortable exercise clothes and runners.
Bring a towel and a water bottle.
Rest well and hydrate before the test.
Avoid intense activity 24 hours before, and skip large meals 2-3 hours prior.
