Your GPS watch estimates your VO2 Max. Your heart rate monitor guesses your zones. But if you're training for a half marathon, a full marathon, or just chasing a faster 5K - you deserve more than an estimate. A VO2 Max test at DexaFit KC gives you lab-grade data to train precisely at every intensity level.
VO2 Max is your body's maximum oxygen uptake - the ceiling on how hard your aerobic engine can work. It's one of the strongest predictors of endurance performance and overall cardiovascular fitness. More importantly, knowing your VO2 Max tells you:
Wearable devices estimate VO2 Max using algorithms based on heart rate data and motion. Research shows these estimates can be off by 10–20% or more. More problematically, the heart rate zone defaults on most watches are based on population averages and not your individual physiology. Training in the wrong zones can lead to overtraining, undertraining, and missed PRs.
VO2 Max Test
A graded treadmill with metabolic analysis. You'll receive your VO2 Max score, your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, and your precise heart rate training zones.
DEXA Body Composition
Running performance improves with better power-to-weight ratio. DEXA shows you exactly how much of your weight is functional muscle vs. fat - critical data for race-day optimization.
Pro tip for runners: Combine your VO2 Max test with a DEXA scan to get the full picture - your aerobic engine AND your body composition. Together, these tell you exactly what to improve for your next race. What's more is you will now be able to get lean vo2 max and leg lean vo2 max which are far more meaningful!
