Every VO2 test is performed on a TacX Neo smart trainer bike. This is the same precision technology used by professional cycling teams. It allows us to capturing real-time power, cadence, and heart rate data down to the watt. This level of accuracy means your results aren't just numbers; they're a true reflection of your physiology, giving you a training zone prescription you can actually trust.

Wearables and formulas can guess at your fitness. We measure it directly. Using validated metabolic gas analysis, VO2testing.ie provides precise, individualised testing that tells you exactly how your body performs, and exactly what to do with that information.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, training for your first event, or simply want an objective picture of your health, our testing gives you data you can actually act on.
Laboratory-grade equipment - validated metabolic analysis, not wearable estimates
Individualised results - every report is explained in plain terms with practical next steps
For everyone - athletes chasing performance and anyone wanting an objective picture of their health
Every engine has three defining characteristics: how big it is, what type it is, and how strong it is.
Our testing gives you all three. VO2max testing measures the size of your aerobic engine. Lactate recovery testing reveals what type of engine you have (aerobic or anaerobic) and how well it switches between the two. Isometric and Explosive Force Testing measures how strong and powerful that engine really is.
Together, they give you a complete picture of your physiology - not just where you stand, but exactly where to focus your training.
VO2 max testing measures the maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during exercise. This is essentially, the size of your aerobic engine and the ceiling on your endurance potential.
What you'll get:
• Your true VO2max, measured using lab grade equipment
• Personalised heart rate and power/pace training zones, based on your physiology.
• A clear picture of your aerobic ceiling, so you know exactly where you stand and how much room there is to grow
• Identification of your lactate/ventilatory thresholds within the same test, showing the intensity you can sustain for longer efforts
• A benchmark to retest against, so you can track real, measurable progress over a training block or season
Lactate recovery testing reveals how your engine actually runs and how well it clears lactate. The testing demonstrated how you switches between aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. This determines how you recover between hard efforts.
What you'll get:
• Insight into how quickly you buffer and clear lactate, which drives your ability to repeat high-intensity efforts
• A clear read on your aerobic-anaerobic balance. This tells us which system you rely on and which needs work
• Guidance on optimal recovery intervals between reps, sets, or race efforts specific to your physiology
• A better understanding of your work-to-rest ratios for interval training, built around how you actually recover, not generic templates
• Early warning signs of overtraining or incomplete recovery, helping you avoid burnout and injury
Isometric strength testing measures the maximum force your engine can produce. Your explosive force profile captures how quickly you can produce it. This is the raw power and output behind speed, strength, and resilience.
What you'll get:
• Objective, quantified measures of maximum strength and rate of force development (RFD)
• A detailed force-time curve showing exactly how you produce force, from initial push to peak output
• Identification of strength or power asymmetries between limbs, a key risk factor for injury
• Baseline data to track strength and power gains across a training programme, or return-to-play progress after injury
• Targeted insight into where your training should focus: raw strength, explosiveness, or both

Daniel is a graduate of Trinity College, Ireland, where he earned degrees in Physiotherapy and Physiology. He was awarded a highly prestigious scholarship during his physiotherapy education. His dual background in physiology and clinical practice gives him a deep understanding of how the body performs under load - the exact science behind VO2 max, threshold and metabolic testing.
Daniel oversees our physiological testing service, ensuring every VO2max, threshold and performance assessment is conducted to the highest standard and interpreted with genuine clinical and sport-science expertise - not just a number on a printout.
In his spare time, Daniel stays competitive across soccer, cycling, running, swimming and weight training. A former competitive rugby player up to university level, he has since turned his focus to triathlon and has completed multiple Ironman events. This gives him first-hand experience of exactly what your test results mean for training and racing.

Apurva is originally from India and moved to Ireland to further develop her career. She graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with First Class Honours and has a MSc in Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation at the University of Galway. This gives her a strong grounding in the physiology behind performance testing, not just clinical rehab.
Since qualifying, Apurva has gained diverse experience across physiotherapist and exercise physiologist with Galway United Football Club. She applied physiological assessment directly to elite athletes for performance and conditioning.
Apurva brings the same thorough, evidence-based approach to testing that she applies clinically. This started with a careful assessment, attention to detail, and finally clear communication of results. Athletes understand exactly what their numbers mean and how to use them.
Outside of work, Apurva enjoys a variety of sports and workouts. She's also a keen badminton player and has competed at inter-district level.
