The Pinnacle of Performance Assessment: VO2 Max Test – Enhanced with TSI Muscle Oxygenation & Lactate Threshold Analysis

For athletes demanding the most comprehensive and scientifically rigorous physiological assessment available, Theorem Metabolic presents the Ultimate Performance Blueprint: the VO2 Max Test enhanced with both TSI Muscle Oxygenation Sensors and Lactate Threshold Testing. Unlock the deepest possible understanding of your aerobic engine, muscle function, and fuel utilisation.

Go Beyond Limits – Achieve Unparalleled Performance Insights

This is not just a VO2 Max test – it’s a complete physiological profile. By integrating gold-standard VO2 Max measurement with revolutionary TSI Muscle Oxygenation analysis and precise Lactate Threshold testing, we provide you with an unrivalled level of data to optimise every facet of your training and performance strategy.

Why is Combining VO2 Max, TSI & Lactate Threshold Testing the Ultimate?

This comprehensive test synergistically combines three powerful assessment tools to provide a truly holistic and granular view of your physiology under exertion:

• Gold-Standard Indirect Calorimetry (VO2 Max): Accurately measures your maximum oxygen uptake, defining your cardiovascular engine capacity and overall aerobic fitness.

• Deep Tissue Muscle Oxygenation Sensors (TSI): Reveals real-time muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) in key muscle groups, pinpointing muscle-level limitations, imbalances, and fatigue patterns.

• Lactate Threshold Testing (Blood Lactate Analysis): Precisely determines your lactate threshold – the critical point where lactate accumulation accelerates – providing key insights into your anaerobic threshold, sustainable power output, and fuel utilisation.

Data You Will Receive – The Most Complete Performance Dataset Available:

You will receive all the data from both the Standard VO2 Max Test and the VO2 Max Test with TSI Sensors, PLUS highly detailed Lactate Threshold Data, including:

• Precise Lactate Threshold Points: Pinpoint accuracy in identifying both your Aerobic Threshold (LT1) and Anaerobic Threshold (LT2) based on blood lactate response.

• Individualised Lactate Curve: A detailed graph illustrating your blood lactate accumulation at each stage of the progressive exercise test, revealing your unique lactate profile.

• Lactate Threshold Heart Rate & Power/Speed Zones: Clearly defined heart rate and (if applicable on bike/treadmill) power or speed zones directly linked to your lactate thresholds, providing the most accurate zones for threshold training.

• Fuel Utilisation Insights (Lactate Informed): Enhanced understanding of your body’s fuel source preference (fat vs. carbohydrate) at different exercise intensities, informed by both breath analysis (RER from VO2 Max) and lactate response.

• VT2 Refinement – Lactate Threshold Validation: Your Ventilatory Threshold 2 (VT2) is further validated and refined by aligning it with your Anaerobic Threshold (LT2) from lactate testing, ensuring maximum accuracy in defining your upper performance limit.

• Comprehensive Report – Integrated & Expertly Analysed: A truly comprehensive report integrating VO2 Max, TSI Muscle Oxygenation, and Lactate Threshold data, providing a holistic and expertly interpreted performance blueprint with actionable training recommendations.

Ultimate Benefits of VO2 Max, TSI & Lactate Threshold Testing:

• The Most Data-Driven & Personalised Training Plan Possible: Leverage the richest dataset available to create a training plan that is precisely tailored to your individual physiology, strengths, and limitations across cardiovascular, muscular, and metabolic domains.

• Pinpoint Your True Performance Limiters – Systemic, Muscular & Metabolic: Identify your primary performance bottlenecks – whether they are cardiovascular capacity (VO2 Max), muscle limitations (TSI), or metabolic/lactate related (Lactate Threshold) – allowing for highly targeted interventions.

• Maximise Training Efficiency & Effectiveness Across All Zones: Optimise training intensity and duration in every training zone, from Zone 2 fat-burning to high-intensity threshold work, with unparalleled precision informed by lactate thresholds and muscle oxygenation.

• Unlock Your Full Endurance & Power Potential – Leave No Stone Unturned: Gain the deepest possible understanding of your physiology to unlock your full athletic capacity, pushing your performance boundaries and achieving your peak potential with scientific certainty.

• Cardiac & Metabolic Peace of Mind – The Most Complete Assessment: Benefit from the most comprehensive cardiovascular and metabolic assessment available, providing both performance optimisation and a thorough understanding of your physiological responses under stress.
