VO2 MAX TESTING IN LOS ANGELES

(Running, Cycling, Rowing & Triathlon)

IMPROVE HEALTH, FITNESS & LONGEVITY

A VO2 max test measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise which is one of the strongest indicators of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Optimizing your VO2 max is essential for longevity and sports performance. Higher VO2 max is strongly linked to better endurance performance and long-term health outcomes.

The test also tells us FAT-MAX which is the intensity at which you burn the most amount of fat, therefore the test can help fine-tune fueling, pacing and nutrition programming for the endurance athlete.

Who this test is for:

  • Endurance athletes preparing for races

  • Ultra Marathon and IRONMAN athletes who

  • Longevity and health seekers who want to train with science

THE SCIENCE BEHIND VO2 MAX TESTING

All human engines are “hybrids”, in that they burn a mixture of fat and carbohydrate depending on the exercise intensity. Fat is the body’s #1 fuel source as it delivers more than twice the energy than carbs, however making Fat available to burn as fuel takes longer. Therefore, it’s used for primarily lower intensity "aerobic" fueling whereas fast burning Carbs fuel shorter more powerful efforts. A well-tuned engine will burn lots of fat for longer and spare its carbohydrates until the highest intensities. Only when correctly tuned will an athlete be able to reach their true VO2 max.
