The tests.
Each test shows how your heart, lungs or body respond. We explain every result in plain words.
VO2 max
The most oxygen your body can use during hard exercise. A clear measure of aerobic fitness, and a baseline to train from.
Lung function
How much air you breathe and how fast. It helps find asthma or other causes of breathlessness during sport.
ECG
A recording of your heart’s electrical rhythm. It checks for rhythm problems before hard training.
Body composition
How much of your weight is fat and how much is lean mass. Useful to track training and diet changes.
Blood and genetic tests
Chosen with your doctor, based on your health, your sport and your goals.
Sports physiotherapy
Rehabilitation after injury and breathing retraining with Lindsay Kemp, our physiotherapist.
