Caring for you as we would for ourselves

Triathlon Preparation—Physical Fitness Assessments

Triathlon consists of three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. However, during training, a fourth discipline needs to be added: namely, linking the three together. Each sport is separate and has its own specific features. To assess your aptitude and performance in each of these three disciplines, the Health & performance team offers stress testing on an exercise bike or treadmill, as well as a full assessment consisting of an anthropometric evaluation (body composition) and two stress tests (exercise bike plus treadmill).

Triathlon Assessment—CHF 350

The objective of this full assessment is to assess your body fat as well as your cycling and running endurance.

After the test:

  • you will be able to determine how adequate your body composition is for your sporting activity and your health
  • you will know what factors determine your endurance performance for cycling and running 
  • you will know how your performance compares to the standard values 
  • you will be able to determine exactly what training areas you need to focus on in the two disciplines. 

After the test, our expert exercise and training physiologist will give you potential pathways for improving your training, with the aim of optimizing your performance for race day.

 

The following values will be measured: 

  • your body fat percentage
  • your VO2 max for cycling and running
  • your ventilatory thresholds in both disciplines
  • your maximum heart rate and your heart rate linked to both ventilatory thresholds.

Endurance Test—CHF 280

By measuring your VO2 max and your ventilatory thresholds (the point from which, during physical exertion, your ventilation increases more quickly than your oxygen consumption) you will be able to evaluate your endurance in running and cycling!

  • you will know what factors determine your endurance performance (for running and cycling) 
  • you will know how your performance compares to the standard values
