Metabolic and performance testing methods

Use these methods to compare the services offered by laboratories in Canada.

VO₂max / CPET

Measures maximal oxygen uptake and the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic response during exercise.

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 Canada 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.
