| Athletes have long understood
and utilized the concept of heart rate training. They understand
anaerobic threshold and its importance in sport training. It
is what distinguishes the elite and creates the edge! Like any
sport, an athlete must have the proper tools and equipment to
assist him in performing his sport to the utmost of his capabilities.
Oxygen based VO2max testing is one of those essential training
tools because it is the ultimate indicator of cardiovascular
fitness. The values generated by the testing correlate to specific
heart rates and training zones from which training programs
can be designed. Resting metabolic rate testing is the other
essential training tool because an athlete's metabolism is directly
linked to the amount of lean muscle mass that he/she carries.
National Training Centres now provides this professional
fitness testing for all teams and individual athletes looking
to maximize their training results. With the CardioCoach,
MetaCheck and Win Gate equipment from Korr Medical Technologies
and Monark, NTC is able to deliver accurate fitness testing
that measures key data including the following:
- max VO2
- anaerobic threshold
- leg and total power output
- the precise amount of calories burned at all exercise heart
rate levels
- recovery rate
- resting metabolic rate
To date, athletes or individuals could only obtain these
values through estimation or from a costly trip to a university
or hospital research center.
BUT NOW…
National Training Centres facilitates these testing protocols
and will come right to your door to do so. The testing is
mobile so that any individual or facility can have access
to this technology and education regardless of budget, staff,
or time restraints.
