• Metabolic Exercise Testing (MET)

• Measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide produced while exercising from low to high intensity.

VO2 max: the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use for energy.

Ventilatory Thresold 1 (VT1): commonly referred to as your aerobic threshold.

Ventilatory Theshold 2 (VT2): commonly referred to as your anaerobic threshold.

Metabolic Flexibility: your body’s ability efficiently use fat, carbohydrates, and lactate for fuel and to switch between these based on demand and availability.

• Health and Longevity: VO2 max is a strong predictor of your health, likelihood of dying, and ability to perform tasks as we age.

• Training efficiency: Metabolic testing allows individualized training zones based on your physiology rather than population estimates.

• Athletes: VT1, VT2, and VO2 max guide training and predict athletic performance.

• performed in-office at TMD Health

• Options include stationary bicycle or treadmill

• While wearing a mask that measures oxygen and carbon dioxide with each breath, the test begins with an easy warm up and then increases in difficulty until high intensity is reached.

• Test duration is about 30 minutes start to finish

  • $225

• MET with expanded report, consultation, and training guidance
