The test is available for running (on a treadmill) or cycling (on your own bike). It allows us to precisely determine your physiological thresholds and establish training zones tailored to your level. It’s also very useful to repeat the test over time to track your progress. The protocol consists of a series of intervals of increasing intensity until you reach your maximum. Including preparation and a review of the results, the session lasts about an hour, but the test itself lasts no more than 30 minutes. You can opt to include a measurement of your maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). For running tests, a biomechanics analysis is included with the VO2max measurement.

To optimize your visit, you can take a sweat test immediately after your step test by adding this extra.

For triathletes, it is possible to combine a sub-maximal cycling test with a maximal running test. In this case VO2 is included.

Report example

190$ + taxes (lactate only)

Extra :

40$ + taxes to add the measurement of VO2**

170$ + taxes to add a sweat test

190$ + taxes in extra for the test combining cycling and running (VO2 included)

Testing is done at Premiere Performance (Entry C, 4710 Saint Ambroise St suite 156, Montreal, Quebec H4C 2C7).

**Oxygen consumption is measured with a VO2master. The validity of this tool is acceptable, however it is not the most precise for measuring VO2max. Adding this option to the test allows for a more confident determination of your thresholds and provides a good indication of your running economy. However, the test is slightly less comfortable due to the mask.
