An exercise test (lactate test) is a method used to assess your current physical condition.​ Do you feel that you have been cycling/training for a long time but you have no idea whether you are doing it the right way or not. Then an exercise test can give you clarity, this gives you clear values where you should spend the most time, where it's best to stay away from and in which zone you make a lot of progression but where you only need to spend a small percentage of your training time.​ In short, after an exercise test you get training advice that you can start using to get better and so you can train more efficiently.

​​

Information:​

• You take an exercise test on your own bike mounted on a Wahoo Kickr either on a Wahoo Kickr Bike.​

• Depending on age and gender, the initial load starts at 60, 70 or 100 watts, every 8 minutes this is increased by 30 or 40 watts until voluntary exhaustion.

• Throughout the test, small blood samples are taken at ear level to determine your blood lactate concentration, in addition we continuously measure intensity, heart rate and wattage during the test.

​​

Results:​

• After the test, we explain the test and the test results in detail.

• You will know your strengths and weaknesses and how to address them.

• We determine your heart rate and wattage zones and linked to them your thresholds (fat threshold and anaerobic threshold).

• If you own a power meter, we will adjust the results to match your power zones.
