Performance & Wellness Testing

Using our ParvoMedic True One Vo2Max testing, we can measure how your body is using particular energy sources and can approximate your VO2 max as well your lactate threshold to determine your individual heart rate training zones. Science-based, determined heart rate zones will provide the training tools to allow you to more effectively reach your fitness goals.

There is no getting around it: losing weight is hard work. We get fat by putting in more calories than our bodies can burn off.  Knowing your own resting metabolic rate allows us to give you an idea of how many calories a day you should be eating to both stay active and healthy while losing weight.

Body fat testing can be a helpful tool to measure general health and monitor weight loss if you are interested in a weight loss program. It can also improve performance – improved lean body mass means you have more muscle moving less mass.

Lactate threshold testing is arguably the most important predictor of performance in endurance events and is widely considered to be the gold standard used to determine optimal training plans.

Are you over age 45, sedentary and want to begin an exercise program? Worried about your baseline health before you start this program. Then our Comprehensive Physical Fitness Assessment package is perfect for you:

For those that would prefer to have their fitness tested on the road, trail or ski run instead of in the lab, we offer field testing at a venue of your choosing by special arrangement. This test also includes a personal test results analysis and determination of training zones based on these results, current fitness and performance goals. Individualized science-based, systematic training plans are available for an additional fee.

We are excited to introduce this new cutting edge testing protocol to Northern Nevada endurance athletes.   If your goals races are 4-6 plus hours, this testing will provide the specific heart rate, power and/or pace to further focus your workouts and maximize your training investment.

Are you looking to drop a few pounds, or maybe more than a just a few pounds?   Watching what you eat and exercising are obviously critical for your success.   However, we see too many people either working out aerobically, too hard or too easy.  This test is an abbreviated protocol of our Performance Metabolic Efficiency Assessment and is ideal for people who want to maximize their body’s fat burning potential.
