High Performance

The high performance laboratory offers a full range of fitness assessments.

As a serious athlete you will spend hours training, competing and then working out how you can improve your performance. However effective and efficient training is impossible without a clear understanding of your current physical and physiological capacities. The assessments we offer are those used by top athletes all over the world specific to the sport you are competing in.

The data from your assessments will be fully explained, directly to yourself and in report format, enabling you to develop more effective training and performance strategies.

ANAEROBIC POWER

ANAEROBIC POWER

Description

Success in many sports is dependent on the power you can produce to pedal, sprint and / or jump.
Measuring your maximal power therefore allows you or your coach to determine whether you need to develop strength and speed or to coordinate these to generate your power.
We can also look at your fatigue index which will provide a measure of how quick you tire when you are exercising at high intensity and over multiple efforts.

BODY COMPOSITION

BODY COMPOSITION

Description

Athletes usually benefit from having low fat and good muscle mass. Without a detailed body composition analysis it is impossible to accurately determine the ratios of lean tissue to fat mass distribution. Body composition analysis therefore informs the need to increase muscles mass and reduce body fat and is used by the coach to monitor the effectiveness of training and dietary strategies.

Fitness and Health Assessments

Fitness and Health Assessments

Description

Fitness and Health Assessments

 

Assessments and personal programmes are prescribed by our exercise scientists who have many years of experience working with both international athletes, and the clinical healthcare of the elderly.

 

Option 1 - Full aerobic assessment + exercise prescription: £200

VO2max, anaerobic threshold, lung efficiency, exercise prescription, body composition*.

This is a package that delivers all the requirements for athletes and serious exercisers. VO2max is the gold standard indicator of endurance fitness and also decreasing the onset of age-related medical conditions.

The exercise prescription is personalised to individual needs and essential for optimal improvement of both health and fitness.

 

Option 2 - Full aerobic assessment, exercise prescription and follow up assessment: £300

As above, with a subsequent follow up test. The importance of a second fitness and health test cannot be overestimated and will show any changes in performance following the first assessment.

 

Option 3 - Aerobic Assessment: £120

VO2max, anaerobic threshold, lung efficiency, body composition

As above but excluding the exercise prescription and follow up assessment.

 

Option 4 - Full Aerobic Assessment + follow up assessment: £200

As above but including a follow up test

 

Option 5 - Clinical Assessment: £120         

Ventilatory threshold, blood pressure, lung efficiency, body composition, flexibility, muscle strength

These tests will measure the health status of individuals who are possibly sedentary or ageing. Good health is essential for a providing a good health related quality of life and lowering the risk of medical conditions that can occur as we age.  

 

Option 6 - Clinical Assessment + Exercise Prescription: £180                                                      

As above but including a personalised health related programme designed to improve and maintain health and fitness for the non-athlete.

 

Option 7 - Muscle Strength and Power Assessment, including resistance training techniques and programme planning: £80

Strength and power are important in many activities, particularly team games and contact sports. An effective weight/resistance training programme should include optimal intensity, duration, frequency, and recovery times.

Strength and power is also important in later life for the retention of muscle mass, avoiding frailty and maintaining flexibility and mobility. 

 

*A free body composition is included with all assessments

VO2 MAX

VO2 MAX

Description

This is a measure of your body’s ability to produce energy using aerobic pathways.Whilst your VO2max score is a good indicator of endurance capacity, submaximal values allow us to determine anaerobic threshold, energy utilisation and optimal training intensities.
