RMR / VO2 Max / Lactate Threshold
Knowing and understanding your VO2 max , resting metabolic rate (RMR) and lactate threshold can be extremely helpful in learning about your health. At NMotion Sports and Human Performance, we want to help you not only get results from all these tests, that can be performed in our office, but also help you understand what these results mean and how they relate to multiple different aspects of your overall health.
What is a VO2 max score?
A VO2 max score indicates the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to the muscles working throughout the body, which are constantly relying on adequate oxygen supply. VO2 max testing is the “gold standard method” when it comes to determining the exercise capacity of an individual during graded exercise testing. It is also one of the best indicators of biological age. VO2 max scores are the strongest independent predictor of someone’s health and longevity and are determined by measuring the volume of oxygen consumption.
Why is it important to know your VO2 max score?
Knowing and understanding what your VO2 max score is can help anyone looking to improve their overall fitness levels. Improving your VO2 max levels can help your body consume more oxygen and in turn, use that oxygen to generate more energy. It is important to first understand what your VO2 max score is to then know how to improve it.
What is a resting metabolic rate (RMR)?
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) refers to the amount of calories, or energy, that your body burns while at rest. RMR is important to your body’s daily functions, as it accounts for approximately 70% of all your body’s energy use in a day.
What are the benefits to knowing your RMR?
Knowing what your RMR is can be very helpful in many different areas of your overall well-being. It can help understand how many calories you need to be consuming daily to ensure that you are properly fueling your body, and be used to determine how many calories you should consume if you are working towards a weight loss goal.
What is a lactate threshold?
The lactate threshold refers to the level of exercise intensity when lactate begins to accumulate in the bloodstream faster than the body can remove it. A simple way to look at the lactate threshold is that it acts as the border between low-and high-intensity movement.
Why is knowing your lactate threshold important?
If you can determine your lactate threshold, it can provide key insights into your physical fitness and help you improve your performance. This can help you create a more efficient training schedule and maintain a faster pace while you are working towards any type of fitness goal.
All in all, knowing your resting metabolic rate (RMR), lactate threshold and VO2 max score can help you understand how your body responds to exercise and how you can maximize your training and nutrition regiments to fit your body’s specific needs. At NMotion Sports and Human Performance, we would love to help you get these tests done and understand what your individual results mean to your fitness.
