Find out exactly how many calories your body requires to lose, maintain or gain weight.
A printout of your individual results will include the following:
During a post test consultation we will dive into exactly what these results mean to you in a simple easy to understand explanation.
A test suitable for any individual looking to understand their daily calorie needs.
Our Korr Medical equipment uses what is known as indirect calorimetry, this calculates an individual’s resting metabolic rate by measuring the amount of oxygen inhaled and exhaled per unit of time. You will be seated in a comfy position and asked to answer a few questions regarding your lifestyle and activity levels. You will then be required to breath into our machine whilst wearing a nose clip for approximately 15 minutes. It’s that simple!
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – £65
VO2 Max Bike Test – £90
VO2 Max Run Test – £90
1 VO2 Max Test + 1 RMR Test – £120
VO2 Max Bike + VO2 Max Run + RMR Test – £170
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a measure of how much energy or calories the body needs in order to maintain basic bodily functions during a rested state. It essentially tells you how many calories your body needs to survive if you were to simply sit in a chair all day
Many factors can affect your RMR including; age, gender, the use of drugs/stimulants including caffeine, genetics, body mass and even environmental factors.
If you have an active lifestyle or you regularly undertake exercise you will require a greater intake of energy/calories. Be aware that unless you are an elite athlete these may be less than you think!
By knowing exactly how many calories your body needs you can begin to plan your calorie intake to help you reach your goals. We recommend doing some tracking such as keeping a food diary, not neccessarily all the time but for a few days at a time it can really shine a light on mistakes you are making and changes that can be made.
Yes, there are several formulas you can use to calculate an estimated metabolic rate however, these do not provide you with the accuracy of the indirect calorimeter used by Enduraprep. If your predicted calorie intake was out by 200 calories for example, that could equate to 21 lbs or 9.5kg gained over a year!
Many products such as green teas, spicy foods and coffee will claim they can increase metabolism however, there is little evidence to support these claims. The most effective way to improve metabolism is simply to move more. Aerobic and strength training are both effective ways to boost your metabolism. Remember, muscle cells require more energy than fat cells, therefore the greater your muscle mass the faster your metabolism
Stef P2024-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't recommend Craig and this testing enough!! Had a RMR + VO2 Max test done. Craig was super friendly, welcoming and professional, explaining the entire process the whole way through, making me feel relaxed and at ease. After getting the results, Craig has highlighted where I've been going wrong both in my training and with my nutrition, both of which explain my recent disappointing race! I've implemented Craig's advice and after only a few weeks of training, I'm already seeing the benefits! Wish I'd gone and had the testing done sooner! Have a new lease of life with my training and I'm looking forward to seeing how my next few races go, as well as a further VO2 Max test done down the line! Thanks again Craig 👍🙌 Nerys Chaplin2023-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really useful and actionable information and advice (am a runner, mainly long-distance). The instructions for the test were straightforward and the staff are very professional and knowledgeable Jason Sarver2023-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, its nice to know your V02 Max even at 50 years of age. Loved the test and the read out, plus Craig helped me with advice on how I should run 🏃♂️ cheers guys, top notch. Joshua Salley2023-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered a lower back injury in June which meant my triathlon season was up in the air, and I wasn’t able to train or perform properly. I was advised to see Craig for a new bike fit after previously getting one else where. I met Craig and straight away his friendly manner and unbelievable passion and knowledge for bikes and sports shone through, I knew I was in the best hands possible. We spent hours refining my position, all evidence based guidelines and tailored to my own personal comfort and goals. We found the perfect position and I have never looked back. No more back pain and I was able to complete my first 100 mile ride on the bike and Ironman wales a few months later. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks Dave Sinclair2023-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great service when getting vo2 max done twice - once with Lawrence, once with Craig. Both reassuring and professional and forthcoming with recommendations. Would definitely recommend. Josh Bowden2023-09-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lawrence is an awesome coach! Incredibly insightful and attentive to the ups and downs of training as an age grouper - definitely recommend to anyone looking to start their triathlon journey or take that next step in their progress! Sebastian Brooks2023-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of meeting with Craig for the RMR test. On arrival, Craig came out to meet me straight away and he then talked me through the entire process in detail. For the most part, I just sat there breathing in to a tube which was expected. I can’t fault the service provided, the knowledge and experience of Craig and his ability to make it straight forward. I’ll definitely be back in the coming weeks for the Vo2 max test. Best of luck at IronMan Nice this week! John Eyre Guitar2023-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. extremely friendly and very useful! The little exercise plan has been very effective, and I will be using their services again James Grandfield2023-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following V02 testing and a bike fit I’m really happy with the results and seeing the benefits in my training and racing. Craig is super knowledgeable and provides real value for money with actionable advice.
