Information
See how VO₂max and thresholds underpin FTP, then target the true limiter to lift FTP faster with the right intervals.
Identify power at VT1/VT2 (first/second ventilatory thresholds) so you know exactly where you produce sustainable vs. race-winning power and how long you can hold it.
Load lab-derived HR/power zones into your Garmin/other devices so guidance matches your body (not generic algorithms); consumer estimates can be off around key thresholds.
Pinpoint your FatMax (max fat-oxidation) intensity to spare glycogen and extend endurance during base and tempo work.
VO₂max is a cornerstone metric in endurance sport and a powerful health/fitness marker—track it block-to-block to see measurable improvements, not guesses.
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.

Snapshots from Your Report
This merely shows parts of the report that you will receive to a dedicated app on your phone from which you can check your progress as you retest, improve and reset your training and nutrition.
FAQs
The test is done on a calibrated bike ergometer to ensure data accuracy and retest validity.
Bib shorts, stiff-soled shoes, pedals (if you want your own), HR strap/watch, and a water bottle. We’ll handle fans and towels.
It’s a progressive ramp; you stop when you reach max sustainable effort. We supervise throughout for safety.
Your VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2), precise power and HR zones, your FatMax (best fat-burn range), lung capacity and utilisation, fat burning efficiency, recovery capacity and health vs biological age.
By showing whether your limiter is aerobic capacity (VO₂max) or threshold, we’ll target the right intervals to raise FTP faster – you’ll also see power at VT1/VT2 to guide sweet-spot/tempo work.
Yes – knowing where you switch from fat to carbs helps plan pacing and fueling so you spare glycogen and avoid late-ride fade.
Absolutely – your power/HR zones go straight onto your device so workouts and alerts match your physiology, not generic estimates.
Avoid hard rides 24 hours prior, arrive hydrated, have a light meal 3 hours before your test and avoid caffeine 3 hours prior to testing; re-test every 8–12 weeks (or after a training block) to track progress and retune zones.
VO₂max for aerobic ceiling, ventilatory/lactate thresholds for pacing, FatMax for efficiency, and individualized zones that make every session count.
