Services and Pricing
We offer a comprehensive suite of sport science testing services. Our expert team provides detailed assessments to help you understand your aerobic performance, muscle function, and body composition, empowering you to enhance your overall health and performance.
VO2Max Testing – £100
This test measures your cardiovascular fitness, determining the maximum rate at which your body can transport and utilise oxygen during intense exercise. It’s a key assessment for anyone looking to evaluate their endurance capabilities.
Lactate Threshold Testing – £100
Lactate threshold testing profiles your blood lactate response to exercise and enables the prescription of training zones. This test is crucial for athletes aiming to improve endurance and performance in long-distance events.
Combined VO2Max and Lactate Threshold Testing - £130
The ultimate aerobic fitness assessment! This combined test offers comprehensive insights into your cardiovascular fitness and endurance performance. It’s ideal for individuals looking to enhance their aerobic capacity and optimise training.
Triathlon VO2Max and Lactate Threshold Testing (Run and Bike) – £195
For triathletes or multi-sport athletes, this test provides a detailed analysis of your fitness across both running and cycling disciplines, helping you fine-tune your performance in each. Lactate threshold testing is conducted for both the run and cycle, and VO2Max is conducted for the running assessment only.
FatMax Testing – £100
FatMax testing identifies the exercise intensity at which your body burns fat most efficiently. This is perfect for those focusing on fat loss or optimising their ability to burn fat during endurance sport events.
Body Composition Analysis (Bodpod) – £65
Using Bodpod technology, we provide a precise measure of your body fat percentage, fat-free mass, and resting metabolic rate. This test is essential for anyone looking for an insight into their current body composition and metabolic rate.
Combined Body Composition Analysis and FatMax Testing - £130
This package combines a body composition assessment using BodPod technology, with a FatMax test to determine the optimal intensity for fat burning. This option is ideal for those looking for a baseline measure of their body composition, in addition to practical information that might help inform a training programme.
Strength and Muscle Function Assessments (Isokinetic Dynamometry) - £75
Our strength and muscle function assessments use isokinetic dynamometry to evaluate muscle strength and joint function. This test is particularly useful for athletes returning from injury, as it plays a key role in return-to-play decisions, ensuring that muscle function and strength are restored to a minimum level before resuming full training or competition.
