Make maximum progress with targeted training

Would you like to know how your running condition is? At Bakala Academy we can test this professionally.

You perform an incremental exercise test on a treadmill. The test start at a speed of 6,5 km/h, and is increased by 1,5 km/h per 8 min. until volitional maximum. Throughout the test small blood samples are taken from the earlobe at 4-min. intervals for determination of blood lactate concentration. In the final stage of the test respiratory gases are collected and analyzed. 

After the test, there's a detailed discussion of the test results. We evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, and formulate specific and individual training advice (12-week training schedule). Afterwards, you will train with more comfort and with a higher efficiency both for your health and for your achievements!
