Virtual Metabolic Testing
POWER TELLS YOU HOW YOU ARE PERFORMING - BUT NOT HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PERFORMANCE
A metabolic approach to training efficiency
The performance you are looking for is composed of a variety of components and metrics, but if you only focus on FTP, power output or heart rate zones, you’ll miss accuracy and efficiency. Whether you are a:
- Triathlete trying to maximize your pacing strategy
- A gravel grinder looking to optimize your fueling requirements
- A beginner trying to figure out how to train a little smarter
you can benefit by doing a metabolic assessment.
The Bottom Line:
- You'll find out how much fat and sugar you are burning at every power output.
- You'll get key metrics like VLaMax & VO2Max to help you create the most effective individual training plan for your next event.
- Insights into your metabolic efficiency to properly fuel your body for maximum performance.
- Access to a test that's not just for the pros. It's for anyone that wants to train more efficiently.
- A power meter and bike computer will be required to perform the assessment.
- Once you purchase a virtual assessment, you will receive an email with the assessment procedures.
