METABOLIC ASSESSMENTS / V02 THRESHOLD

(to determine your heart rate zones for fitness improvement)

Discover if you are efficient in using fat as fuel throughout an exercise session.  In addition to the assessment, Swim Bike Run will provide a full interpretation of the results, which include a nutrition and exercise/training prescription to enhance your ability to teach your body to burn more fat. 

Our testing with New Leaf equipment is ideal for any person wanting to improve health and reduce body fat and any athlete wanting to rely less on supplemental carbohydrates during training and competition and to eliminate GI distress. Knowing how your metabolism works is essential to creating a plan to live healthy, look better, and perform to your full potential. Our New Leaf metabolic assessment and training program is based on decades of medical research and proven scientific know-how. Whether you’re just starting to exercise or you’re training for your next marathon or triathlon, you can boost your metabolism, when your exercise and nutrition plans are based on your personal metabolic profile.

What’s a metabolic profile? Think of it as your metabolic fingerprint: It’s unique to you, and it holds all the info needed to create a highly successful, personal exercise training plan. Your metabolic profile helps your trainer determine how long you should exercise and how intensely (probably not as hard as you think!). Your profile also provides insight into the nutritional choices that will improve your health, increase your overall fitness, and ultimately enhance your athletic performance.

Metabolic testing allows you to discover what the maximum amount of calories are that you can consume in a day and still lose weight. This test measures your RESTING METABOLIC RATE or RMR. Your RMR is the number of calories you would burn doing nothing but resting all day! The majority of all calories burned {about 70 to 80%} are burned at the resting level. As an athlete or active person this is important to know to ensure that you are getting enough calories in your diet.
