Running Economy - $150

Duration:

Total lab time is approximately 60 minutes.

Description:

This test is for runners aimed to analyze running economy – the amount of oxygen utilized at a specific running pace. Running economy is a strong predictor of running performance. Since this test is performed at submaximal efforts, it allows runners to assess their current fitness without performing a maximal effort text (see Maximal Graded Exercise Test service) during a training period. During this test, you will run on a treadmill at your selected paces (up to 3 different paces) while the amount of oxygen that you consume is measured for approximately five minutes. Following the analysis, expert lab staff will discuss these results with you to attempt to provide you with a full understanding of their meaning and how to move forward with your training.
