What size is the engine under your hood? VO2max testing is the best way to determine your fitness level. The test is particularly crusical for any endurance athlete planning to run a 10k, marathon, biathlon or triathlon race. The test explanations are given at the Racers’ Toolbox lab in Singapore by Lab Director Jonathan Fong or his sidekick Nick Lange.

The Lactate test is ideal for those people looking to perform better in an endurance event. The Lactate test is used to determine your lactate threshold from which we can establish your correct training intensity zones.

Lactate threshold is the point in exercise when lactate acid begins to accumulate in the muscles. It is a physiological marker that is closely related with aerobic endurance performance – the higher the lactate threshold, the better the aerobic endurance performance.

The Fuel Efficiency test is a great test for most individuals. For those looking to lose some weight, this test is ideal for you as it will identify exactly how and at what intensity you burn the most fat. This is obviously essenial to burn fat effectively.

For those athletes out there looking to improve your performance in endurance events, this test allows us to see how you are currently using your energy and helps us to create an effective plan that can delay you from “hitting the wall”.

Over the past 4 weeks Racers’ Toolbox has been running our inaugural survey.
