Submaximal fitness assessment (cycling, running, rowing, swimming)
For the regular trainer, this test allows us to determine your training zones by speed or power and heart rate. A useful tool for identifying your strengths and weaknesses, evaluating your progress through to identifying specific training zones. The full price reflects the inclusion of online gas analysis, blood analysis and heart rate analysis.

Maximal Fitness Test VO2 – Maximal Oxygen Uptake assessment (cycling, running, rowing)
During this test you will be asked to exercise until fatigue – a very intense experience reserved for the regular trainer. You will find out your VO2 max, as well as your maximal minute power (cycling) or top running speed. Heart rate response will also be assessed.

Body composition Assessment (restricted & full profiles)
Completed by a fully trained ISAK Anthropometrist who specializes in body composition, we measure your sum of skinfolds, muscle girths, height and mass. Your feedback will include an estimate of lean mass as well as distribution of your adipose or fat. Restricted Profile idea for ongoing monitoring – optimising performance or making weight, while the full profile focuses on growth & weight category.

Restricted profile: sum of skinfolds & fat distribution, selected muscle girths, height and weight (18 measurements)
Full Profile: sum of skinfold & fat distirbution, muscle mass, limb lengths & breadths, somatotype, growth patterns height & weight (44 measures).

Blood Screening
Using a fingertip blood sample, this simple procedure measures your haematocrit – the concentration of red blood cells in your blood – and haemoglobin, the oxygen transport molecule within. This is used to monitor changes in plasma volume – for example as a result of endurance training or altitude exposure.

Isokinetic testing
An isokinetic assessment allows us to accurately measure strength in a group of muscles. This is useful when looking at pre- and post operation scores, rehabilitation or in the case of a reoccurring injury. The assessment can take from between 45 -60min depending on the test protocol.

Functional screen
An essential part of the support process, in this session our Strength & Conditioning coach will assess how you perform key movements related to your sport. From here they will identify muscle imbalances, tightness or weakness in specific areas as well as balance and coordination problems. A report outlining your profile along with training recommendations is provided.
