Metabolic Analysis in Zurich

Price: 179 CHF 
Duration: 60 minutes (including consultation) 

What does the Metabolic Analysis measure?

• Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): How much energy your body burns at rest.
• Your Primary Fuel Sources: Whether your body uses fats, carbohydrates, or proteins for energy. 

Why metabolic flexibility matters? 

Metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to switch between burning fats and carbohydrates efficiently. This adaptability is crucial for: 

• Sustained energy during low-intensity activities. 
• Peak performance in high-intensity efforts. 
• Better weight management and long-term health. 

What are the benefits of knowing your BMR? Your BMR is the foundation for setting accurate caloric targets to: 

• Optimize your diet for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain. 
• Save time by skipping trial-and-error nutrition adjustments. 
• Boost your energy levels and metabolic health. 

How the test works 

• Non-Invasive testing: Conducted while lying down and breathing through a specialized mouthpiece. 
• Comfortable and Quick: You can choose between a quick test of 5 minutes or a longer one for 30 minutes, followed by a consultation to explain your results. 

By understanding your metabolism, you can align your nutrition and lifestyle to meet your fitness goals more efficiently. 

Performance Diagnostics in Zurich

Price: 239 CHF 
Duration: 75 minutes (including consultation) 

What does the Performance Diagnostics measure?

• VO₂ Max: Maximum oxygen uptake, a key indicator of endurance. 
• Aerobic Threshold: The intensity at which your body burns fat most efficiently.  The aerobic threshold is an important marker for endurance training because it determines the maximum intensity you can sustain for long periods without accumulating significant fatigue.
• Anaerobic Threshold: The point where your body shifts to carbohydrate reliance, producing lactate.  At this point, your muscles produce lactate faster than your body can clear it, leading to its accumulation in the blood. This marks the upper limit of sustained effort, beyond which fatigue sets in more quickly due to the buildup of metabolic byproducts.

Why it’s important to know your thresholds? Understanding your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds allows you to: 

• Train in the right heart rate zones for improved endurance and performance. 
• Push your limits safely to avoid overtraining. 
• Balance training intensity and recovery for better results. 

How the test works 

• Dynamic Testing: Performed on a bicycle ergometer with gradually increasing resistance. 
• Comprehensive Monitoring: A mask measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, while your heart rate is tracked. 
• Detailed Analysis: A consultation follows the test, where you’ll receive actionable recommendations to optimize your training. 

This test is perfect for anyone looking to refine their training, enhance endurance, or prepare for competitions.
