Lactate Threshold Test $150
The lactate threshold is the point at which, during incremental exercise, lactate builds up in the blood stream at a level that is higher than resting values. The lactate threshold is a good predictor of submaximal fitness (e.g. what exercise pace can maintained over a prolonged period of time without fatigue). Athletes typically reach lactate threshold at a higher percentage of VO2max.

ProBike FC now offers VO2 Max testing!
VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise; that is, exercise of increasing intensity. The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V" for volume, "O₂" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum. Athletes can greatly benefit from this form of testing. Receiving real VO2 data allows riders to track their performance and track their progression.
Nick has been fully trained and certified in conducting the VO2 Max Test. Our Koer machine is the state of the art calibrated unit, used by nearly all pro teams around the world
