🧪 Unlock Your Potential with VO₂max Testing

FOR ATHLETES: Train Smarter. Race Faster.

Your VO₂max is one of the strongest predictors of endurance performance. It represents your body’s maximum oxygen uptake—how efficiently you can deliver and use oxygen during intense exercise. Here's why it matters:

✅ Scientific Precision: Knowing your VO₂max helps pinpoint accurate training zones—easy pace, lactate threshold, and VO₂max intervals—so you get the most from every workout.

✅ Customized Training: Stop guessing. Whether you're preparing for a 5K or an ultramarathon, VO₂max data helps structure training to maximize aerobic development, boost efficiency, and prevent overtraining.

✅ Monitor Progress: Track changes in your aerobic fitness over time. Improved VO₂max = faster pace at lower effort.

✅ Elite-Level Insights: Professional and Olympic-level athletes routinely test VO₂max to fine-tune their race prep. Now you can, too.

“In well-trained endurance athletes, VO₂max is strongly correlated with performance at all race distances.” — Journal of Sports Sciences

FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC: The Most Powerful Metric in Preventive Health

VO₂max isn’t just for athletes—it’s a vital sign for your overall health.

✅ Longevity Marker: Numerous studies show that VO₂max is a stronger predictor of mortality than cholesterol, blood pressure, or smoking status.

✅ Disease Prevention: Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

✅ Biological Resilience: A higher VO₂max reflects better mitochondrial health, stronger cardiovascular function, and greater capacity for physical activity as you age.

✅ Personal Baseline: Establish a snapshot of your cardiorespiratory fitness today—and set a goal to improve it.

“Each 1-MET increase in VO₂max is associated with a 10–25% reduction in mortality.” — American Heart Association

📈 Who Should Get Tested?

• Competitive athletes looking to break PRs

• Recreational athletes training for a race

• Anyone interested in healthspan and longevity

• Individuals starting a new fitness journey

• Patients seeking objective health metrics beyond weight and BMI

🔬 What’s the Process Like?

We use a validated, real-time breath analysis system (e.g., VO2 Master) during a graded exercise test. In just 20–30 minutes, you’ll get detailed insight into:

• VO₂max (oxygen capacity)

• Heart rate zones

• Ventilatory thresholds (VT1, VT2)

• Metabolic efficiency

🎯 Why It Matters

Whether you want to run your best race, add healthspan to lifespan, or simply understand your body better, VO₂max testing gives you the data you need to make informed decisions about your health and training.

Unlock your running potential with a professional running gait analysis conducted by a licensed physical therapist. The video recording captures your unique running mechanics in live and slow motion, allowing for an in-depth evaluation of your stride, posture, and foot placement.

During the analysis, we’ll assess critical components of your running style, including cadence, ground contact time, and symmetry. By identifying any inefficiencies or imbalances, we tailor personalized recommendations to enhance your performance and reduce the risk of injury.
