Absolutely - use VO₂max as the fitness cornerstone alongside lipids/A1c/BP, HRV/sleep, grip/leg strength, and DEXA/3D scan to build a complete healthspan picture. (Message Charlie at enquiries@betterbodygroup.co.uk for more information on this)

Every 8–12 weeks or per training block; consistent work typically raises VO₂max and shifts thresholds upward - clear, trackable progress on your dashboard.

Receive a Biological Age & Performance Report: Your VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2), precise HR/pace zones for easy, tempo, and intervals, lung capacity and utilisation, fat burning efficiency, recovery capacity and health vs biological age.  An example of this is shown at the bottom of the web page.

Arrive well-hydrated; avoid hard training 24h before; have a light meal 3 hours before your test and avoid caffeine 3 hours prior to testing; skip alcohol the night before.

Yes - it's supervised and tailored; we ask for your medical history and present list prior to your test. If you’ve had a recent health event, check with your GP first. (feel free to ask any questions about this by messaging Jason on enquiries@betterbodygroup.co.uk)

Yes - your report shows the exact intensity that maximizes fat oxidation, supporting insulin sensitivity, weight control, and endurance.

Wearables estimate fitness; gas analysis measures it breath-by-breath and sets precise, personal zones (HR/pace/power) for training and recovery.  You can use your V02 test to calibrate most wearables to enhance their accuracy.

It’s a direct measure of cardiorespiratory fitness—one of the strongest indicators of current health and future mortality risk - giving you a baseline and a plan to improve it.
