If you are a professional athlete or a “weekend warrior”, you owe it to yourself to maximize your training. Knowing your individual response to exercise, you will have the tools you need to get the results you want.
Precision Health Design: Sports Performance Program
RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) Assessment: RMR is the number of calories your body uses at rest. The release of energy in this state is primarily for the function of vital organs. It is by far the biggest contributor to your daily caloric expenditure. By measuring your RMR you will know how many calories you need to eat to lose, maintain or gain weight.
VO2 Assessment: For an athelete, the VO2 assessment is a maximal effort and you will know:
MAX VO2: This is your highest intensity of effort and is the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can utilize. The higher the number … the better your fitness level. In an untrained athlete this number can be improved 25%!
Aerobic Threshold (Max Fat Zone): This is your highest sustainable intensity of effort and is the point at which your body can still burn body fat efficiently. Utilize this variable to lose those last few pounds!
Anaerobic Threshold (AT Zone): This is the point at which your body switches to using sugar as the primary fuel source. Too many exercise sessions in this zone leads to muscle breakdown, injuries, weight gain……... Are you training too hard??
Cyclist Performance Testing: Using YOUR bike on a Computrainer, we will also identify Max Watts, Watts at Anaerobic Threshold, and Cadence Efficiency. USCF Coaching Available.
Max Watts: Your max watts is a measure of your leg strength and can be improved with a structured weight training routine.
Watts at Anaerobic Threshold: Watts at AT is the sustainable amount of power you can produce efficently. Power + Speed!
