Sport Science Lab

Wether you are a professional or national level athlete requiring a test, a weekend warrior or simply enjoy going for a run, our sport science lab offers everything you need. There are many components that are integrated into your performance, including the energy pathway, maximal heart rate, onset of blood lactate, body composition, and biomechanical factors. These can all be measured through the use of several laboratory tests. The information gained from the test can then be implemented into your training program to specifically affect your physiology and improve your performance.


All evaluations are conducted by our exercise physiologist Brad Kahn. Brad's bio speaks for itself as he has extensive experience testing elite amateur and professional athletes.

Most commonly used evaluations:

  • Direct VO2 max (treadmill or cycle ergometer)
  • Wingate Anaerobic Test
  • Running Economy Test
  • Ventilatory Threshold
  • Critical Power Test (treadmill or cycle ergometer)
  • Body Composition Assessment
  • Biomechanical Assessment
  • Strength and Power Tests (vertical jump, squat, bench press, set-up...)
