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.
