Training Zone Determination

This is an advanced test measuring your blood lactate and oxygen consumption to determine your six physiologic training zones. You can build a training program around these training zones to maximize results and decrease the risk of overtraining. This may be particularly helpful if you want to establish “Zone 2” training or to follow a more polarized training regimen.
Fields with asterisk are required.

Protocol Description:

  • You may choose to complete this test on a treadmill or stationary bike. We can also perform the test on your personal bike connected to a Wahoo Kickr if compatible.
  • You will be asked to run at various sub-maximal paces or cycle at various power outputs. You will continue to move through stages increasing in speed or resistance until you cannot continue any further.
  • Expired gasses are collected during exercise through a mouthpiece and analyzed
  • Heart rate is measured continuously.
  • Lactate is measured by collecting small amounts of blood via an earlobe prick at the end of each stage.
  • Appointments last 90 minutes with 30-60 minutes exercise.

Data Generated: Lactate threshold, heart rate at lactate threshold, VO2max, maximal heart rate, training zones
