Performance Testing

At Sportlabo Beersel, we offer advanced performance testing for both running and cycling to help you optimize your training.

Running & Cycling Tests

We conduct tests on the treadmill and on the bike. Cycling tests can be performed on:

• Our ergometer bike
• Your own bike, using the Cyclus 2 system

Performance tests are only available at Sportlabo Beersel..

What Do We Measure?

Our tests determine heart rate zones and training thresholds to maximize performance. We combine:

• Lactate measurements (via a blood drop from the earlobe)
• Ergospirometry to assess respiratory and metabolic efficiency

This dual approach allows us to precisely identify both the aerobic and anaerobic threshold, ensuring a tailored training plan.

Additional Testing Options

On the bike, the test can be combined with an exercise ECG to screen for potential cardiac issues.

For both running and cycling, we can detect respiratory problems, such as exercise-induced asthma.
