Performance Analysis

Why does Rider #1 consistently cross the finish line before Rider #2 if both weigh the same, train the same amount, produce the same threshold power, and eat the same? To know why, you have to understand what’s happening inside each rider’s body while riding.  This is called a riders Metabolic Profile. And we can provide you with these crucial metrics.

In partnership with INSCYD, AchievePTC offers it’s athletes and anybody else the secret weapon that has long been used by the pros. The testing protocol and subsequent results identify your full metabolic profile, including the most valuable variables including VO2max, Anaerobic Threshold, FatMax, and the missing link of cycling performance, VLamax.

20% of the difference in performance between cycling amateurs and professionals, can be explained by VO2max. 75% of the performance differences in these two groups is accounted for by differences in VLamax, or volume of lactate accumulation and clearance.

A tailored training program will then be created to take your performance to the next level.

How? Complete a Critical Power Test

You get a precise performance profile based on physiological data.

Maximum sustainable power output is typically viewed as the single most important metric of performance.  However, there are many other factors that contribute to your physical ability.  These crucial training metrics include aerobic and anaerobic energy supply, efficiency, fat combustion, carbohydrate sparing, and recovery.

VLamax is highly adaptive to training and detraining. It may well account for a majority of changes in endurance performance throughout a season. therefore, tracking VLamax and adjusting accordingly is imperative. We now have the tools to do this for you.
