The difference
By feel vs. by measurement
Our approach
Pain, stress and exercise are connected
Chronic pain and persistent stress are closely linked. When the autonomic nervous system is constantly on alert, the pain often persists as well. One important starting point is regular, well-dosed endurance exercise in the aerobic range: too little achieves little, too much means additional stress. Lactate testing shows us where your personal range lies.
Your results
What you get
You won't go home with a sheet full of numbers, but with clear zones and a recommendation that fits your everyday life.
Report as a PDF
All measurements and your training zones clearly summarised, to read through and take with you.
Real training zones
Your heart rate ranges from the measurement, instead of rules of thumb from the internet.
Discussion in the same appointment
Right after the test, we explain your values and what they mean for you.
Your training recommendation
Agreed with you and tailored to your goal. With follow-up tests, it grows with you.
Who is it for?
Specific instead of guesswork
Whether you are dealing with pain, feel exhausted or are planning your next personal best: the measurement shows which intensity suits you.
Well prepared
How to prepare
For your values to be meaningful, the right preparation matters.
Clothing & training
Bring sportswear and trainers. Please avoid intense training in the 48 hours before the test.
Food & drink
No food in the last 2 hours before the test. For breakfast, we recommend oats or muesli (complex carbohydrates), but please no Nutella toast 😉 Drinks: come well hydrated (water or herbal tea).
No caffeine & healthy
No coffee, no energy drinks, no guarana. If you have an infection, we will postpone the test, just let us know.
