VO₂ Max and Resting Metabolic Test
Measure at rest, perform at max
Service Description
Pair the gold-standard measure of aerobic fitness (VO₂ Max) with a true reading of how many calories you burn at rest (RMR) to align training and fueling. VO₂ Max supports stamina, recovery, and long-term health; a measured RMR anchors daily nutrition for body composition and energy—no guesswork. SENSORS RMR: VO₂ Master + Heart-Rate Monitor VO₂ Max: VO₂ Master, Heart-Rate Monitor, CORE body temperature, Train.Red muscle oxygen, and power meter (bike only) PART 1 — RMR What it is Know exactly how many calories your body burns at rest. Using the VO₂ Master and a heart-rate monitor, we measure oxygen use while you’re fully relaxed to calculate your true RMR. This helps you avoid under-fueling (low energy, poor recovery, hormone disruption) or overeating (unwanted fat gain), and guides healthier day-to-day choices. TEST A short, comfortable assessment with indirect calorimetry. Sit or lie quietly for 15–25 minutes, wear a VO₂ Master mask, and breathe normally while we capture breath-by-breath oxygen consumption and heart rate. RESULTS Clear daily calorie targets for rest, training, and recovery days, plus simple guidance on macronutrients and meal timing to support fat loss, muscle gain, and long-term health. PART 2 — VO₂ Max What it is VO₂ Max reflects how well your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles work together. Higher values support better stamina and recovery and are linked to longevity. TEST A graded bike or run assessment: after a short warm-up, intensity rises step-by-step to a strong, near-max effort. We record oxygen use, ventilation, heart rate, core temperature, (on the bike) power, and muscle oxygenation. RESULTS VO₂ Max and Ventilatory Thresholds (VT1/VT2) Personal HR/Power/Pace zones for endurance, tempo/threshold, and VO₂ intervals Guidance on workout design, recovery, and heat strategy Insight into what’s limiting you (cardio vs. muscle vs. heat) for targeted training A full report summarising results, insights, and raw data PREPARATION RMR: Arrive well-rested and hydrated; fast 5–12 hours; avoid caffeine and exercise that morning; wear comfortable clothing. VO₂ Max: Avoid heavy meals or caffeine for ~3 hours beforehand, hydrate well, and wear your usual training kit (bring your bike or running shoes).
