In Part 2 of our "Test What You Intend to Measure" series, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber dive deep into the art and science of building precise metabolic test protocols. Whether you're testing VO2 Max, substrate utilization (Fat Max), fatigue resistance, zone recovery, or designing open-ended data collection tests, this episode breaks down how to customize protocols for each client's fitness level, exercise mode, and testing goals.
You'll learn:
How to properly structure VO2 Max tests for accurate maximum oxygen uptake results.
Why zone testing requires slower, more granular heart rate ramp-ups.
How to build substrate utilization protocols to measure fat-burning efficiency.
The role of fatigue resistance and zone recovery tests in evaluating metabolic flexibility.
Why individualized protocols ensure safety, better data, and more actionable results.
Perfect for exercise physiologists, trainers, health clinics, and metabolic testing centers using CardioCoach or similar equipment, this episode offers practical tips for optimizing client assessments and designing repeatable, effective protocols.
