The MARATHON TEST + RESTING METABOLIC RATE package is the most comprehensive option for the amateur athlete who wants complete control over performance. At a cost of €125, this service includes all the measurements of the marathon test, adding a specialized resting metabolic rate measurement (RMR) and a personalized nutrition plan.
Resting metabolic rate measurement is of critical importance, as it accurately determines the calories your body burns at rest. Knowing this value allows us to precisely regulate your energy intake, ensuring that you have the necessary fuel for training without unnecessary strain.
In addition, the specialized nutrition plan included in the package is based on your own metabolic data and the specific demands of marathon training.
By choosing this package, you combine the top-level ergometric assessment of the marathon test with a specialized metabolic analysis, ensuring the ideal balance between training and nutrition.
Includes:
1. Health Screening – Anthropometric Assessment
Body fat %, Body fat kg, Fat-free mass, Muscle mass, Total body water, Extracellular fluid, Intracellular fluid, Body mass index, Bone mass, Body classification, Visceral fat, ECW/TBW ratio, Basal metabolic rate, Phase Angle, Basal Metabolic Rate indicator, Metabolic age, Body fat distribution, Muscle mass balance, Lower limb muscle performance, Segmental analysis for each lower and upper limb and trunk: Fat percentage and evaluation, Muscle mass in kg and evaluation, Reactance/resistance and phase angle, desirable normal ranges.
2. Isokinetic Evaluation of the Lower Limbs
Isokinetic testing with the help of isokinetic systems is a popular method of muscle assessment. Isokinetic exercise, performed at a joint within a defined range of motion and at a constant angular velocity throughout the full range, is widely used in the evaluation of physical performance and injuries.
3. Cardiopulmonary Assessment
- Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max): VO2max is synonymous with endurance. A high VO2max value is also an indication of good health.
- Speed (km/h) or Power Output (watt/kg) at VO2max: This is the maximum speed or maximum produced power corresponding to VO2max. It is one of the most practical indicators of the athlete’s aerobic adaptations.
- Anaerobic Threshold: The anaerobic threshold is an important indicator of aerobic endurance. The higher this workload is, and the longer it can be maintained during exercise, the fitter the athlete is.
- Energy (Running) Economy (EE): It is defined as oxygen uptake (mL/kg/min) during a submaximal muscular effort. By learning EE at each speed, we essentially learn the exercise intensity that should be used in training, both continuous and interval, thus improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of training.
- Blood Lactate Concentration: Lactate is an acidic by-product of muscle metabolism and makes muscle contraction more difficult. It is measured either at the end of a maximal effort, during a submaximal effort, or during a VO2max test in order to determine the Anaerobic Threshold.
- Pulmonary Ventilation (Vmax): This refers to the flow of air volume in and out of the lungs. Although there are no absolute reference values, values below 70–60 L/min during maximal effort, depending on gender, body measurements, and type of exercise, may indicate a respiratory limitation.
- Maximum Heart Rate: Knowing this value helps us prescribe and monitor exercise properly.
- Calorimetry and Carbohydrate Consumption: From oxygen consumption measurements, we can calculate the calories burned at each exercise workload. In addition, the quantitative and relative consumption of carbohydrates and fats is calculated, providing important information about energy economy. This also leads to safe conclusions regarding the amount of carbohydrates that should be consumed during efforts lasting more than one hour, such as marathons, cycling brevets, sailing races, etc. We can also measure resting metabolic rate.
4. Plantar Gait Analysis (Plantar Pressure Analysis)
Static & dynamic measurement, balance, plantar pressure, comparison between both feet, support surface mapping, heel position, arch loading, deviations of angles/distances from the axis, and two- and three-dimensional imaging.
5. Flexibility Testing & Posture Assessment
This assessment reveals problems in the length of key body muscles, factors that may lead to recurrent injuries.
6. Running Economy Analysis with Digital Assessment
Running economy is typically defined as the energy demand for a given submaximal running speed, and is determined by measuring steady-state oxygen consumption and respiratory gas exchange ratio.
7. Specialized Nutrition Program
Along with the results, a weekly personalized program is provided after an interview with the nutritionist (Eirini Babaroutsi, PhD Clinical Dietitian, Sports Nutritionist)
8. Resting Metabolic Rate Measurement (RMR)
Resting metabolic rate, energy balance, specialized nutrition program. With this specific measurement, we accurately determine daily energy expenditure in order to create a proper nutrition plan or support weight loss.
