This February OBRA members can receive the group rates for all testing.
Thats a $54 savings on our VO2 Max test. You can test on your bike or
running on a treadmill. Reply off list if you have any questions or if you'd
like to schedule a test.

The goal of the athletic performance test is to determine individualized
training zones using lactate and ventilatory information. Heart rates vary
greatly among individuals, making it difficult to use generic training zones
effectively. Fortunately, tracking blood lactate over increasing
intensities enables us to accurately determine personalized training
zones. Our state of the art equipment also allows us to measure ventilatory
values. The combination of blood lactate and ventilatory values is the best
way to create a plan for you and determine your aerobic capacity. Using
your test results, we will discover areas for improvement, take
your performance to the next level, and make training more fun!

Body composition is assessed via skinfold calipers and included in the price
of the athletic profile. Hydrostatic weighing is available for an additional
charge.
