Blood lactate testing is designed as a tool to allow you to make the most from whatever time you can dedicate to training. It doesn't matter if you are working up to your first 10km or local sportive, or if you are trying to shave seconds off to get onto a national podium, the accurate results of a ramp test will help to ensure you are always heading in the right direction.
Bike testing is done on the riders own bike, so dont forget your bike & shoes when you head over to Performance Cycles for your! We also offer treadmill testing for runners and team sports players here at Les Slinn in Swindon.
All the ramp protocols we use are designed to monitor athletes at as many intensities as possible, so that we can calculate areas of strength as well as areas to be worked on in training. This means that they all start nice and easy then get harder. These are all maximal protocols (its up to the athlete when to stop, but we want as much data as possible) however if you are unable to perform maximally then we can always design a protocol around you and still get accurate data to help with your training.
