Fitlab Services

Providing essential physiological data to evaluate your cycling performance. Retest every 8 weeks to monitor improvements and re-evaluate zones.  Fitlab tests are the same tests you read about pro riders undertaking. Whether it’s with athletes of the recent past with the now infamous Ferrari testing Lance Armstrong or Massimo Testa tracking Cadel Evans or more recently Sky and it’s riders, lactate testing is the gold standard. No testing is more accurate or better able to predict performance than lactate testing.

Sample Performance Assessment Cycling Results
Measurements:

• Full lactate profile – power and heart rate values for all intensity levels
• OBLA (onset of blood lactate accumulation – also called anaerobic threshold, lactate threshold, AT & LT)
• Aerobic Threshold
• Accurate training zones specific to the individual – power and heart rate zones
• Predicted VO2 max
• Peak aerobic power
• Peak lactate
• Body composition (body fat %, body water%, muscle mass, visceral fat rating, metabolic age, body fat and muscle mass information for each arm/leg/trunk area)
• Resting heart rate
• Resting blood pressure

Available in:
New Zealand: Wellington and Christchurch. We can also arrange to come to you for groups of 8+.
Rest of the World: If you are elsewhere in the World, talk to us as we can use other methods to assess you and get you started on a Fitlab training plan.

About the test:
After taking resting measures such as blood pressure and body composition and a short warm up, you will do repeated efforts at increasing intensity levels. Heart rate, power and lactate are recorded for each stage. The complete assessment takes approximately 90mins.

Providing essential physiological data to evaluate your running performance. Ideally retest every 8 weeks to monitor improvements and re-evaluate zones.  Fitlab tests are the same tests you read about elite athletes undertaking. Lactate testing is the gold standard.
