Exercise test

Customized coaching starts with a good assessment of your current fitness level. We determine this by means of an exercise test on a treadmill or on the track. Both tests include lactate measurement. No matter how experienced or inexperienced you are, how fast or slow you run, a lactate test offers great added value for everyone.

During a fixed step protocol, lactate is measured after each phase. Heart rate and RPE (perceived exertion) are also consistently recorded. The final results, which are provided in a report, tell a coach everything about your current fitness level. They also give an indication of the feasibility of your sporting goals. With the wise words of marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge in mind: "No human is limited."

You can take an exercise test on a fixed test day on Saturday (75 EUR). This will always take place on an athletics track, or you can choose a day of your choice (120 EUR) to take the test at the test center in Bruges, Zwijndrecht, or Paal and receive one-on-one guidance.
