What is the Human Performance Centre?
Overview

This test is valuable for those who are interested in optimising weight loss during exercise. Rates of energy expended (calories burned) and the fuel substrates used (carbohydrates and fats) are measured during exercise. This can help identify exercise training zones at which an individual burns the maximum amount of fat as a percentage of total energy expenditure. The test provides useful information for exercise programming for weight management.
What is included:
- The time required for the assessment of VO2max and AT is 90-minutes including pretesting preparation and testing time.
- Exercise will be specific to performance needs (i.e. running, cycling, etc) and involve progressive increases in intensity over time.
- Gas exchange responses will be measured using breath-by-breath analysis during exercise to measure oxygen uptake and other relevant physiological measures of intensity.
- Collection of finger or ear lobe blood samples will be taken to measure the blood lactate response over the exercise bout
- Personalised report providing information on your VO2 max and how it compares to others of the same age, gender, and sport.
- Personalised report with training recommendations to promote general inactive/reactional activity will be provided.
