SPORTS SCIENCE MADE EASY · DÚN LAOGHAIRE
Measure your aerobic fitness. Understand what to do next.
A VO₂ assessment examines how much oxygen you use as exercise becomes progressively harder. At Endurance Lab in Dún Laoghaire, we use VO₂ Master on the treadmill or Wahoo KICKR Bike and explain the result in the context of your sport and goals.
The test should match the question you want answered. Runners usually choose the treadmill; cyclists choose the bike. Triathletes may benefit from understanding both disciplines. Results are specific to the exercise mode, protocol and effort on the day.
We discuss your training and goals, review suitability, explain the equipment and guide a progressive test. The appointment includes setup and a discussion of the findings, rather than an hour of continuous maximal exercise.
We explain your aerobic-fitness result alongside heart rate and pace or power. VO₂peak describes the highest oxygen uptake recorded; whether it represents VO₂max depends on the assessment evidence. One number does not describe all of your endurance performance.
VO₂ testing answers a question about aerobic capacity. Lactate testing helps examine your response to increasing intensity and inform training zones. A combined assessment is available when both questions matter. We explain which measures the protocol supports.
