VO2 MAX TEST
A VO2 max test with Wellness International involves a graded exercise test on a treadmill or exercise bike. It starts at relatively low levels of exercise intensity. The intensity increases at regular intervals until maximum exertion is reached.
During the test the volume of expired air and concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in this air are continually monitored by a gas analyzer connected to you via a mouthpiece. (Similar to a snorkel mouthpiece) To prevent air escaping through your nose during the test you will also use a nose clip. Your ECG (heart tracing) is also measured continuously.
After your maximum exercise test you will be given a comprehensive set of results which will allow your fitness trainer to tailor your exercise programme to your individual requirements using specific training heart rates.
The test costs £195 for Reebok members and takes 1.5 hours, available at the club from 12th July. Contact Wellness International to book or click here to send them an email.
