DexaFit VO2 Max Cardio Test
No Guesswork
VO2 testing reveals the exercise level that will optimize a person’s ability to burn body fat. Without VO2 testing, fitness professionals have had to rely on crude estimates to determine what level of exercise intensity would reach fat burning.
With DexaFit’s VO2 testing readily available, you can know the precise level of intensity that will maximize your progress, using the same technology as the pros.
DexaFit’s VO2max test pinpoints your precise fitness level
We all have optimal training zones. But most fitness tests only tell you target heart rates based on averages using your age and weight.
– Measure your Vo2max, Anaerobic Threshold and precise Target Heart with medical-grade technology
– Identifies your Unique Target Intensity Zones
– One of the best indicators for ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY risks (i.e., if your Vo2max is low, you increase your risk of early death)
How it’s done
Wear a heart rate strap and face mask which is connected to our medical-grade metabolic cart (same one used by the Mayo Clinic).
Start walking on the treadmill to warm-up. We gradually increase your intensity over a period of 10 to 20 minutes.
After, receive a consultation to review your results and answer any questions.
What is VO2 Max?
VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise. The name VO2 max is derived from three abbreviations:
“V” = Volume
“O₂” = Oxygen
“Max”= Maximum. The maximum rate of oxygen consumption is also referred to aerobic capacity.
Experience a comprehensive analysis of your cardiovascular fitness with DexaFit’s VO2max test, designed to enhance your training and health awareness:
Fitness Level Precision: Gauge your endurance potential and cardiovascular condition accurately.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Get a percentile comparison with your age and gender peers for a clear risk assessment.
Boost Energy and Endurance: Improve heart health, blood flow, metabolism, and muscle efficiency through VO2max level training.
VT1 & VT2 Thresholds: Identify your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds for targeted training.
Heart Rate Zones & Calorie Burn: Receive detailed heart rate zones and calories burned in each zone, perfect for defining Zone 2 training and understanding the benefits of various zones.
Overexertion Prevention: Avoid the negative effects of overtraining, including injury and stress on your immune system.
Disease Risk Mitigation: A strong VO2max score is a key indicator of long-term health and longevity.
Fat-Burning Optimization: Determine your optimal fat-burning heart rate zones, as well as carbohydrate-burning vs. fat-burning zones.
