Physiological TEsting & Athlete Profiling
Lactate Testing
Athlete Profiling
Athlete Profiling
At XLR8 Performance Coaching, I offer lab testing where I measure your physiological responses to exercise load: power output, heart rate & blood lactate . This process routinely starts in the u17 age group in Europe. Why? To create accurate training zones, measure improvement, & ensure every part of your program is optimised & matched to your unique physiology.

Athlete Profiling
At XLR8 Performance Coaching, I believe in thoroughly understanding your physiological profile in order to create a bespoke, individualised program that targets exactly what you need to improve. This requires a power meter and some specific testing to determine your aptitude for sprinting, time trialling, endurance efforts & everything in between.
Why Profile?
Athlete Profiling
Why Profile?
If you want to XLR8 performance, speed / power profiling enables:
- Identification of factors limiting performance
- Targeted training prescriptions based on key individual markers
- Avoid wasting time on efforts that won't help you
- Achieve specific improvements in the required areas
Improvements in lactate levels continue well beyond improvements in V02max.
A great reason to measure lactate & manage adaptation
XLR8 Performance with lactate testing
Lactate Testing
- This is a separate service. A one hour lab session in person with your bike on an indoor trainer.
- Accurately identify the power and heart rate at which the major physiological changes occur within your body & use this information to accurately target improvements in your training sessions, and to track improvements over time.

Power / Speed Profiling
Athlete Profiling
At XLR8 Performance Coaching, the testing protocols I use are scientifically validated & evaluate your physiological profile. This leads to accurate performance prediction, permits me to customise training to your physiology and optimise & re-evaluate progress. This means that you are working on exactly what you need to & avoid wasting time on things that won't work for you or make little to no difference. Exactly what you need to overcome a plateau in performance or to avoid over-training.
