Back2Sport offers bespoke testing aimed for individual needs

Back2Sport offers Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), a non-invasive method, to predict accurate fitness levels and guide athletes and individuals to achieving their fitness goals. This “gold standard” of fitness testing analyses your heart, lungs and metabolism during simulated exercise tests in order to accurately assess your needs.

It is the accurate way to test your individual fitness needs to achieve your goals.

What tests are available?

VO2 Max

‘VO2 Max is the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise’

As exercise intensity increases, so does oxygen consumption. However the point at which an individual’s oxygen consumption level plateaus defines the individual’s aerobic capacity (fitness). This aerobic capacity can therefore be used to specifically tailor an individual’s training programme in order to achieve goals faster and more accurately, whether this be elite sport or general fitness.
