With state-of-the-art metabolic measurement equipment (COSMED, Quark Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)) and our Tacx Neo Cycle ergometer, we are able to assess a complete range of physiological measures including:
- Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
- Critical Power (a variety of protocols can be used with accuracy trade-offs)
- Breath-by-breath kinetic analyses to accurately determine ventilatory thresholds (non-invasive lactate threshold)
- Rates of carbohydrate/muscle glycogen expenditure
- Rate of triglyceride use (i.e. fat usage)
- Lactate threshold via blood analyses
- Resting metabolic rates (RMR)
- Body composition (skin fold or bioelectrical impedance)
Costs dependent on time of testing and detail of the analyses. Contact TRUHealthPhysiology@tru.ca for more details.
