Testing

Performance Testing

Based on our commitment to expertise and scientific findings, we don't like to guess. That's why we've set up a laboratory where we use advanced testing protocols to determine your strengths and weaknesses.

Most Popular

Lactate Profile + VO2max Test (HPC)

~2.5 hours 164.90 EUR

Our most popular and comprehensive test combines both key protocols for assessing endurance performance. First, we perform a lactate profile with gradual load increase, followed by a test to exhaustion to determine VO2max.

What you will learn:

  • Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max)
  • Individual training zones
  • First and second lactate threshold (LT1, LT2)
  • Body composition (basic anthropometry)
  • Mechanical efficiency (in percentage) and economy

Who is it for:

  • All endurance athletes
  • Cyclists, runners, triathletes
  • Athletes seeking comprehensive insights
  • Those planning their season

Included in test:

Lactate profile VO2max test Detailed report Results analysis Training zones

VO2max Test

15-25 min 101.90 EUR

VO2max represents the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during intense exercise. It is the gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity and one of the key indicators of endurance fitness.

What you will learn:

  • Absolute and relative VO2max value (ml/kg/min)
  • Comparison with norms for your age and gender
  • Maximum heart rate

Test procedure: The test is performed on a bike or treadmill. Intensity gradually increases to exhaustion (usually 8-12 minutes of active testing).

Lactate Profile

~90 min 113.40 EUR

Lactate testing is the foundation for determining individual training zones. By measuring blood lactate concentration at different intensities, we determine your first and second lactate threshold - key markers for effective training.

What you will learn:

  • Lactate threshold (LT1, LT2)
  • Individual training zones
  • Power/pace at individual thresholds
  • Heart rate at individual thresholds
  • Metabolic response to load

Benefits of lactate testing:

  • More accurate training zones than generic formulas
  • Tailored to your body, not the average
  • Track progress throughout the season
  • Foundation for training periodization

Test procedure: We perform 6-10 stepped intervals (4 minutes each) with increasing intensity. After each step, we measure lactate concentration.

FATmax Testing

~1 hour 126.20 EUR

The FATmax test determines the intensity at which your body burns the most fat as an energy source. This can be crucial for endurance athletes, as efficient fat utilization is also necessary for effective racing.

What you will learn:

  • Maximum fat oxidation intensity (FATmax)
  • Ratio of fat to carbohydrate usage at different intensities

Why is this important:

  • Optimization of long endurance rides
  • Better economy on long distances
  • Planning nutrition strategy
  • Training metabolic efficiency

Ideal for: Ultra endurance athletes, Ironman triathletes, long-distance cyclists, marathon runners.

Advanced Test

Fatigue Resistance & Durability

4-5 hours 299.00 EUR

Our most comprehensive test for serious competitors. Durability measures how your physiological characteristics change during prolonged effort. This is key to understanding why competitors overtake you at the end of a race.

What you will learn:

  • How your LT1 and LT2 change during long efforts
  • Decline in FATmax and metabolic efficiency
  • Fatigue Resistance
  • Comparison of fresh vs. fatigued state

Who is this test for:

  • Cyclists competing in longer races (2h+)
  • Ironman and 70.3 triathletes
  • Ultra runners and cyclists
  • Athletes who "fade" towards the finish

Test procedure: Combination of lactate profile and VO2max test at the beginning, then 2-3 hours of steady riding, and repeat testing in fatigued state.

Body Composition (ISAK)

~30 min 40.00 EUR

Anthropometric body composition analysis according to international ISAK standards.

What you will learn:

  • Sum and distribution of skinfolds
  • Comparison with norms for your sport
  • Body fat percentage
  • Fat distribution across the body
  • Tracking changes over time

Benefits of ISAK method:

  • Repeatable and standardized
  • Independent of hydration
  • Recognized in sports science

Strength Training

Strength Training in Endurance Sports

Strength training is key in endurance sports as it improves movement efficiency, reduces injury risk and contributes to greater endurance and explosiveness.

A properly designed strength training program complements endurance training and helps achieve better results and long-term athlete health.

Benefits of strength training:

  • Improved movement efficiency Better movement economy means less energy consumption at the same speed
  • Reduced injury risk Stronger muscles and tendons provide better joint protection
  • Greater endurance Stronger muscles fatigue less during prolonged efforts
  • Better explosiveness Crucial for sprinting, climbing and finishing moves
