    Why Test?

     

        1. To identify your weeknesses and turn them into strengths
        2. Testing provides fitness markers that can help motivate change
        3. Fitness testing will quantify your current fitness status (where are you?)
        4. Testing can identify contraindications to training (signs of risk?)
        5. To compare past performances and predict future performance
        6. Prescribe training prescriptions and progressions
        7. To educate yourself
          • Specific outcomes
          • To generate your individualized heart rate training zones
          • To help generate specific critical power zones (cyclists)
          • To evaluate and track your:
            • metaboic fitness level (lactate threshold)
            • oxygen economy level (endurance athletes)
            • peak power output (sprinter and criterion cyclists)
            • body composition (body fat%, BMI)
