What’s Involved in Metabolic Testing?
Our metabolic testing process in St Kilda provides a clear understanding of how your body processes energy during physical activity. Here’s what to expect:
Initial Setup: Select from treadmill, bike (smart trainer compatible) or rowing ergometer tests. We can accommodate specific sports equipment if you bring it to our lab.
Testing Protocol: Testing starts at a low intensity and gradually increases every 5 minutes until you reach your lactate threshold (~85% max heart rate).
Data Collection: We monitor fat and carbohydrate usage, lactate levels and key intensity markers.
Results and Consultation: Gain actionable insights, including an Excel template for crafting your personalised race-day nutrition plan.
Optional Add-On: Enhance your pre-race preparation with a body composition scan (+$50) to refine glycogen storage data.
What to Bring and Prepare For
Wear comfortable exercise clothing and appropriate footwear.
Bring a towel and water bottle for your session.
Stay hydrated and rest well the day before.
Avoid intense physical activity 24 hours prior.
Skip heavy meals 2–3 hours before the test and follow your usual race-day nutrition routine for accurate results.
