VO2 Max + RMR

 
 

Custom Fit now offers VO2 Max testing, the gold standard for measuring cardio-respiratory fitness.

VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen one can use during intense bouts of exercise. The more oxygen (higher VO2 Max) one can use during intense exercise, the higher amount of energy they can produce.

What to Expect

  • The test will ideally last between 12-15 minutes but can be cut short or extended on an individual basis.

  • The appointment will take around 45 minutes in total but could be up to an hour (set up time, test, cooldown, explanation of results).

  • This is a max effort test and thus will be very challenging by the end.

  • Please do not workout for 24 hours prior to the test and do not consume food or caffeine for at least 3 hours prior to your appointment.

VO2 Max Report

After the test you will get a detailed report showing your:

  • Heart Rate Based Training Zones - Find out exact heart rate zones specific to your body to help guide cardiovascular training.

  • Fitness Level - See how your fitness level compares to a similar cohort.

  • Aerobic/Anaerobic Thresholds - Learn where your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are. These are heart rate thresholds that are based on the specific types of energy systems used by the body. Knowing where the are can help you train for specific sports or types of physical challenges, such as marathons, 10k, etc.

  • Metabolic Efficiency - This is the body’s ability to burn on-board stores of carbohydrates and fats efficiently during rest and various intensities of exercise.

  • Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) - A ratio of the amount of CO2 being produced by the body and the amount of oxygen consumed.

  • Effective Fat Burned - Not all calories burned are equal. Depending on the level of intensity, you burn more calories from fats or carbs. You will get a ratio of the amount of each you burn at various heart rate zones.

  • VO2 Max - A measure of how much oxygen your body uses per kilogram of bodyweight during intense bouts of exercise. The higher the VO2 Max, the great potential for power generation during exercise.

  • Resting Metabolic Rate - your RMR is the baseline caloric (energy) requirement at a rest to maintain your body weight. This means lying on your back relaxing. This number give us a good starting point in order to change your weight and/or body composition and can help better guide your nutrition/training.
