Our partner Athletes Performance offers all GCT clients discounts for VO2 max tests with ‘‘PNOE’’, providing valuable insights into an individual's cardiovascular fitness. This test measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during intense exercise, making it a crucial indicator for competitive athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Typically, the test involves a treadmill or stationary bike, where the intensity gradually increases while monitoring heart rate, oxygen intake, and carbon dioxide output. The results help in tailoring training programmes to enhance endurance and performance. Furthermore, understanding your VO2 max can assist in setting realistic fitness goals and tracking progress over time. For anyone serious about improving their athletic capabilities, this test is a worthwhile investment.
