Metabolic Testing

Q-NRG Max by COSMED

Our equipment is manufactured by COSMED, a long term trusted name in the metabolic testing field. They are trusted by companies like NASA and hospitals worldwide to perform high quality testing with low deviation.

You don't have to be an astronaut or professional athlete to know your VO2. Test today at Revive Longevity and discover new insights about your own healthspan.

Key Features of Metabolic Testing

  • True Aerobic Capacity

    Based on gas exchange (the most validated method) our equipment provides the true aerobic capacity in addition to conventional heart rate measurements, thus enabling the tailoring of training programmes based on individual needs.

  • Individual Assessment

    We use Indirect Calorimetry through gas exchange to assess resting metabolism. Test results faithfully represent metabolic status providing precious indications on the fitness status or response to nutrition plans. No more estimating your daily caloric needs, know with certainty.

  • Comprehensive Analysis

    Not only can we analyze oxygen exchange but we can also give you detailed information on macronutrient utilization during rest and exercise. This is done with a validated technology and best-in-class gas analysers, meeting the highest standards of metabolic assessment.

Resting

  • Measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), together with other ventilatory parameters give you an ideal how your muscles are behaving at rest.
  • We can determine your resting caloric expenditure with a high degree of accuracy, to optimize dieting.
  • We also give information on metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This can give you valuable information about tailoring a diet and also about your ability to switch between substrate utilization (also called metabolic flexibility).
  • Antibacterial/antiviral single-use oval filters connect to 2-way valve for comfort and ergonomics and most importantly, your safety.

Exercise

  • We can perform both a maximal and a sub-maximal tests depending on your level of fitness.
  • We are constantly monitoring pulmonary gas exchange (VO2, VCO2) along with heart rate to give you the most accurate thresholds analysis and heart rate training zones program.
  • We can also determine your substrate utilization during exercise (ie the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates while you are exercising).
  • VO2 Max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is a measure of the body's ability to transport and use oxygen during maximal exercise. It is an important indicator of cardiovascular fitness and overall health. A higher VO2 Max means that the body is able to deliver more oxygen to the muscles, which in turn allows for greater endurance and performance during physical activity. We are able to provide this number to you through maximal testing and estimate it through submaximal testing.
