Metabolic and performance testing methods
Use these methods to compare the services offered by laboratories in Belgium.
Lactate
Uses blood lactate samples during an exercise protocol to identify intensity transitions and training zones.
SmO₂
Uses near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor local muscle oxygen saturation during exercise.
RMR
Measures resting oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to estimate resting energy expenditure.
Sweat
Measures sweat rate and, where available, sodium or electrolyte concentration during exercise.
DEXA
A low-dose X-ray assessment of body composition and bone mineral density.
Hypoxia / Altitude
Assesses or trains physiological responses under reduced-oxygen or simulated-altitude conditions.
Blood gases
Measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH and related values in arterial or capillary blood.
BOD POD
Uses air-displacement plethysmography to estimate body composition.
FatMax
Identifies the exercise intensity associated with the highest measured fat-oxidation rate.
ECG
Records the electrical activity of the heart at rest or during exercise.
Wingate
A short maximal cycling test used to assess anaerobic power and fatigue.
Isokinetic
Measures muscle strength and balance at a controlled movement speed.
Heat chamber
Tests or trains athletes in controlled hot and humid environmental conditions.
How facilities are selected
Mera includes a facility in Belgium only when a public source confirms VO₂max, CPET, lactate, gas analysis or another relevant physiological testing service. DEXA-only and imaging-only facilities are not included.
