The Active Metabolic Test is the gold-standard method of metabolic testing (breath-by-breath gas analysis) for understanding your fitness, endurance, and training potential. Using gold standard breath analysis methodology, this test measures how efficiently your body absorbs, transports and uses oxygen during exercise - giving you precise, personalised insights into your physiology.
During the test, you'll wear a metabolic mask while walking, and running through gradually increasing intensities. The system analyses every breath in real time to determine:
VO₂ Max – your aerobic capacity and fitness level
Ventilatory Thresholds (VT1 & VT2) – the exact points your body transitions through zones
Personalised Heart Rate Zones – Zone 1 through Zone 5 based on YOUR physiology
Fat vs Carb Utilisation – how your metabolism responds to intensity
Running Efficiency (if treadmill) – VO₂ cost, breathing efficiency, recovery metrics
Performance Limiters – whether your ceiling is cardiovascular, metabolic, or respiratory
These insights allow you to:
Train at the exact intensity that builds endurance
Avoid overtraining or junk miles
Improve fat-burning efficiency
Target the right pace for long runs
Break through performance plateaus
Build smarter training plans based on science, not guesswork
Whether you're preparing for an event, trying to improve your fitness, or simply want to understand your body at a deeper level, this test delivers clarity and accuracy.
