VO₂ MAX & ACTIVE METABOLIC TESTING

KNOW HOW YOUR BODY PERFORMS UNDER LOAD.

Measure your aerobic fitness, training thresholds and physiological response to exercise using advanced PNOĒ breath analysis.

Whether you're training for performance, preparing for a specialist occupation or simply want to understand your cardiovascular fitness, the test gives you objective data rather than estimates from a watch or generic formula.

Professional VO₂ Max and active metabolic testing in Exeter, Devon

TEST WITH A PURPOSE

One test. Different reasons for taking it.

Runners, cyclists, triathletes and other athletes wanting objective information to guide training.
People wanting to understand their cardiovascular fitness and establish a measurable baseline.
Clients such as saturation divers and others where aerobic capacity or physical performance forms an important part of occupational fitness.
People who want heart-rate zones and training intensity based on measured physiology rather than age-based formulas.

YOUR PERFORMANCE PROFILE

More than a VO₂ Max number.

VO2 Max Intelligent Trainer
Your measured aerobic capacity — how effectively your body can take in, transport and utilise oxygen during exercise.
VT1 Intelligent Trainer
Your first ventilatory threshold, helping identify the transition into more demanding exercise and useful lower-intensity training ranges.
VT2 Intelligent Trainer
Your second ventilatory threshold, associated with higher sustainable exercise intensity and performance-focused training.
Heart Rate Zones, Intelligent Trainer
Training zones based on your measured physiological response rather than generic percentage formulas.
Breathing and Oxygen response Intelligent Trainer
Analysis of breathing efficiency, ventilation and oxygen utilisation during progressively harder exercise.

The aim isn't simply to produce a VO₂ Max score. It is to understand how your body responds across the entire test.

Metabolic Performance response Intelligent Trainer
Information that can help us understand fuel use, exercise intensity, recovery and how your physiology changes as workload increases.

What actually happens?

Your VO₂ Max Testing Journey.

The Active Test Intelligent Trainer

THE ACTIVE TEST

You receive preparation instructions and a health/readiness questionnaire. We establish your training background, current activity and reason for testing.
Test preparation Intelligent Trainer

TEST PREPARATION

The PNOĒ mask and monitoring equipment are fitted and checked. We establish your starting workload and explain exactly how the test will progress.
Before your test Intelligent Trainer

BEFORE YOUR TEST

Exercise intensity progressively increases while your respiratory and cardiovascular response is measured. The test is supervised throughout and finishes when the appropriate endpoint is reached.
Your results Intelligent Trainer

YOUR RESULTS

People who want heart-rate zones and training intensity based on measured physiology rather than age-based formulas.

FROM TESTING TO TRAINING

A VO₂ Max score is only the beginning.

Knowing your VO₂ Max can be useful. Knowing why it is where it is and what to do with that information is considerably more valuable.

Your active metabolic assessment can help identify the training intensities that matter to you and provide a baseline against which future progress can be measured.

UNDERSTAND

Aerobic capacity, thresholds and physiological response.

RETEST

Use measured heartrate & intensity information to structure training more intelligently.

Repeat testing can demonstrate how your physiology has responded to training.

TRAIN

SPECIALIST & OCCUPATIONAL TESTING

Testing beyond conventional fitness.

Intelligent Trainer also provides VO₂ Max and active metabolic testing for individuals whose work, sport or specialist activity creates more specific physiological demands.

Previous testing has included specialist clients such as saturation divers as well as endurance and performance athletes.

Testing can be arranged in Devon or, where sufficient numbers justify travel, at suitable locations elsewhere in the UK.
