THE ROLE OF METABOLIC TESTING
Train Smart…Train Right…Get the Edge!
METABOLIC TESTING!
For those looking to “shape-up”, shed some unwanted pounds and for athletes wanting to become more fit, metabolic testing can be used to determine an individual’s daily caloric needs, oxygen consumption and the body’s response to exercise to determine the correct workout intensity.  A customized program can be designed that will really work for each person.  Measuring V02 max will help an individual ensure that their training is at the correct intensity and will help achieve better results.  Furthermore, regular testing throughout the season can be beneficial to tracking and quantifying progress. 
V02 testing only works when the individual comes away with a clear understanding of how and why the training approach needs to be altered to improve performance.  This requires an individual with the expertise and time to educate the client on the meaning of their results and the implication of those results on personal training goals.
This personal program will provide all the tools and information to help achieve an individual’s fitness goals and weight loss.  For more information on Metabolic Testing, call Blair Gorsuch, M.S., an Exercise Physiologist at Proctor Hospital.
