Cycling Assessment - Advanced

Program Overview

Advanced analysis provides personalized performance modeling, training zones, and targeted sessions to enhance strengths and address weaknesses.

Program Outline

Outline:

This package includes the following battery of tests:

• Body composition assessment
• Resting blood analysis – Haematocrit & Haemoglobin
• Blood lactate assessment
This is undertaken through a step protocol where the required power output is gradually increased in 3 minute stages. Capillary blood samples will be measured after each stage to identify LT1 and LT2. This test usually lasts for around 20-30 minutes
• Assessment of cycling efficiency
We will calculate your gross efficiency and fat max using advanced gas analysis, this is vital when it comes to calculating fuel use for longerevents
• Measures of critical power (a more accurate FTP) and anaerobic work capacity (the battery of energy above critical power)
Critical power and anaerobic work capacity will be calculated using a 3 minute all-out maximal test. This test will also provide us with measures of max power and VO2 max / peak

Other:

This package comes with advanced analysis of your results and training zones, provides you with some more accurate performance modelling and comparison to pros, and identifies specific sessions which you can target to improve your weaknesses and maximise your strengths.
