COMPREHENSIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL TEST

"TESTING LIMITING FACTORS"

CZK 6,500 incl. VAT · Duration: 3 hours

Look at your fitness and performance from a whole new perspective. Rather than focusing solely on the maximum results you achieve, learn to understand the process that will help you keep pushing your limits further.

Limiting Factor Testing aims to identify the weakest link in the chain of human physical performance and target it effectively through training. Our performance can be limited by a wide range of factors, including psychology, nutrition, social conditions, genetics, and many others.

Naturally, during a 3–4-hour laboratory session, we cannot fully assess the psychological or social aspects of your performance. However, we can significantly help improve your performance by focusing on the following areas:

METABOLIC
MUSCULAR
CARDIOVASCULAR
RESPIRATORY
ANTHROPOMETRIC

Unlike standard exercise tests (such as lactate curve or VO₂max testing), Limiting Factor Diagnostics is more time-consuming, taking approximately 3 hours, including the medical history assessment and anthropometric measurements. However, this does not mean that lactate and ventilatory parameters are overlooked. Quite the opposite – they remain essential components of the test.

Another key aspect is monitoring the body's recovery processes between exercise stages – this is truly crucial! The recovery phases reveal which physiological system (heart, lungs, muscles, or energy production) is functioning least efficiently during endurance exercise and at high exercise intensities.

What will Limiting Factor Testing tell you?

Which system (cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, or energy metabolism) is functioning least efficiently
How to target these functional weaknesses effectively through training
Your optimal fat-burning zone, known as FATMAX
Aerobic Threshold (AT), Anaerobic Threshold (AnT), and Functional Threshold Power (FTP)
Ventilatory parameters – VO₂max, oxygen pulse, tidal volume, and breathing frequency
Lung vital capacity: FVC and FEV₁
Continuous MOXY measurements of muscle oxygenation / O₂ extraction (SmO₂) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO₂)
Continuous MOXY measurements of total haemoglobin (tHb), indicating blood volume in working and secondarily recruited muscles
Individual training zones (heart rate, power in watts, %FTP, %CP, pace in min/km, etc.)
Resting and post-exercise blood pressure
Anthropometric measurements: body fat percentage, muscle mass percentage, visceral fat, and resting metabolic rate
A comprehensive assessment report with personalized training recommendations
