Professional bike fitting services and VO2 and LT testing services from CycleLife USA

CycleLife

CycleLife USA comes to the Multisport World Conference and Expo where it will offer the CycleLife USA Peformance Center for attendees to learn more about the value of bike fitting, performance testing and its services for the multisport community. In addition to offering you great information, the CycleLife USA Performance Center at Multisport World will offer a limited number of opportunities for you to experience first hand the quality of services their have to offer including:

  • The CycleLife USA SignatureFit Service
  • VO2 Max and Lactate/Anaerobic Threshold Testing Service

The CycleLife USA SignatureFit Service: If you've been thinking you need a comprehensive re-evaluation of your positioning on your current bike or you're thinking about buying a new bike and want to know exactly what you should be looking for, the CycleLife USA SignatureFit Service is definitiely something you want to consider. 

The CycleLife USA SignatureFit Service is a complete analysis of your riding position on the bike from neck to foot, with consideration of selection and placement of all equipment used when cycling. Physical assessment includes range of motion tests, flexibility tests, examination of muscular coordination and more.  Equipment assessment includes evaluation of cleat placement and float, crank length analysis, saddle positioning and handlebar/stem/contact selection and position.

The SignatureFit service offered at Multisport World also includes video analysis utilized from Left/Right and Front/Rear views to determine power knee angle and alignment. Video overlay allows for "before and after" sequencing to illustrate positional adjustments and effects on comfort and aerodynamics. Video capture is used in conjunction with RETUL, the sub-millimeter accurate data collection and fit system.

There will be three SignatureFit sessions offered at the CycleLife USA Performance Center located on the Multisport World expo floor. Each session is 2 hours and a fee is required. Session times are 10:30AM-12:30PM, 1PM-3PM and 3PM-5PM. CLICK HERE to register for one of these fitting services.

VO2 Max and Anaerobic Threshold Testing: The most important determinant of the effectiveness of your exercise is intensity. Whether that intensity is high or low, knowing and training at the right intensity for your physiology will improve the effectiveness of your training and, ultimately, your performance.

The CycleLife USA Performance Center will offer VO2 Max and Anaerobic Threshold Tests on the Multisport World expo floor throughout the day. Your bike will be connected to an electronic trainer that will take you through a graded intensity protocol that will be administered by a CycleLifeUSA professional. The test begins at a very light intensity and increases incrementally until maximum exertion. You'll wear a mask that is connected to a metabollic analyzer that, as your intensity increases, will capture the changes in the volume of air that you are breathing as well as the mixture of oxygen being consumed and carbon dioxide being expired. From this data the technician will determine your VO2 Max and Lactate/Anaerobic Threshold and map those numbers to both heart rate and power.

The data collected from your test will then be explained to you and you'll walk away with a better understanding of how your body works including your areas of strength and weakness and guidelines to help you monitor your body during training and racing to improve overall performance.  Each session is 1 hour and a fee is required. Session times are every hour starting at 10:30AM with the final session at 3:30PM. CLICK HERE to register for one of these testing services.
