This exclusive clinic includes:
Workshops: Get hands-on experience on physiological testing, creating a 360° physiological athletic profile across different sports. Learn how to measure and analyze key performance metrics such as VO2max, VLamax, FatMax, substrate utilization, running economy and more.
Masterclasses: Each day, dive deep into key topics like energy metabolism, athlete profiling, and nutrition strategies for endurance athletes. Gain expert knowledge to apply directly to your coaching and lab practice.
Mentorship: Work closely with our expert to develop personalized training plans using real athletes’ data. This is your chance to refine your skills and confidently apply the knowledge gained in workshops and masterclasses.
By the numbers
- 10 sessions, including; energy metabolism, fat combustion, aerobic & anaerobic capacity, lactate as a fuel.
- 7 sessions on adaptation to training: phenotype-based, reasoning behind low-intensity high volume vs. high-intensity interval training, etc.
- 2 sessions on metabolic testing (VO2, lactate sampling, running economy, VLamax, VO2max, and thresholds, using the most trusted mobile analyzer – COSMED K5).
- 5 sessions on interpretation and application of the results of metabolic testing (training zones, how to identify performance limiting factors, nutrition to maximize training adaptation)
The highlights
- Hands-on learning with athletes and coaches in the field. This means testing athletes, applying test data to training, and understanding the unique needs of each athlete. True insiders look at world-class training and testing.
- Become an expert in metabolic testing. You will conduct lactate and VO2 testing: at the running track, and on the road.
- Learn how to interpret and apply metabolic data to inform training programs with the highest efficacy.
- Answer the most important question in training! How the mechanisms and physiological reasoning enables you to understand if an athlete will gain more by low intensity – high volume training or by intense interval sessions.
