Test OVERVIEW

Lung performance training and testing is being used by athletes at all levels all over the world  to improve their breathing, lung capacity, lung strength and anaerobic fitness.   Strong, healthy lungs are an essential part of any athletic performance and testing lets us know how they are performing.  If testing reveals your lungs are not as strong as they should be training them needs to become part of your daily regiment.

​

WHY

​Why would you do this test?  Lung performance contributes a great deal in most athletes sports performance.  A few of these issues are medically related such as asthma, but most lung related performance issues are more reflective to the athletes training regiment.  If an athlete trains their body to push only up to the limit and not through the limit, their lungs will not be forced to work harder which will hold back performance improvements.
