Metabolic Testing - What Is It?

 

Metabolic testing measures how efficiently your body burns calories and utilises energy.

​

What We Offer

​​

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

A non-invasive, indirect calorimetry test that measures the calories your body burns at rest to maintain essential functions like breathing, circulation and small, low intensity movement. This test provides accurate, personalised data that can be used to inform weight management, nutrition and training plans.

 

Following your test you'll receive immediate feedback from your Sport Scientist. You'll receive an in depth report within 2 working days containing a detailed breakdown of your results and recommendations based on your goals.

​​

VO2 Max Test

A VO2 max test measures your maximal oxygen uptake during intense exercise to assess your aerobic capacity and cardiovascular fitness. Results from this test can help optimise your sports performance via heartrate zone refinement and inform fuelling for endurance based activities.

 

Following your test you'll receive immediate feedback from your Sport Scientist. You'll receive an in depth report within 2 working days containing a detailed breakdown of your results and recommendations based on your goals.
