Athlete Specific Training

Having a passion for a sport is an incredible experience and a life-changing love. Once bit by the bug it is impossible to stop! How do you keep improving? How do you prevent injuries that slow progress or prevent you from ever playing again? The answer lies in sports-specific training. Through the combined use of physical therapy knowledge and personal training/fitness techniques, advances in your sport can be made in a safe, healthy, productive and quicker-then-normal way. Avoid over-training and injuries that slow progress. Strengthen and train in a way that builds the endurance and basic skills to have a long, healthy and productive sports career.

Exercise Modification for Peak Performance

  • Ask any professional endurance athlete how they test their progress and they will say VO2 testing. It is the best way to measure your cardio fitness and maximize your workouts. Up until now, cost and complexity has made the test available only to the wealthy and elite athlete. This simple, 6 to 20 minute breath test gives you several vital measurements.
    • Peak oxygen consumption  (VO2 max)
    • Calories burned at different heart rates
    • Aerobic and Anaerobic thresholds
    • Target intensity training zones

  • Armed with these test results, your trainer can customize a cardiovascular workout based on your unique level of fitness instead of a formula. By training in your personalized intensity zones, you will see results you never thought possible! 
Who benefits from this test?
    • Student Athletes
    •  Runners and Tri-athletes looking to reach the next level. (VO2Max/submax)
    • Those interested in a healthier lifestyle
    • Endurance Training
  • The most difficult thing about endurance training has to be knowing how hard to push it and when to push it. How does an elite athlete improve that last 1% to make the difference in a new personal best or winning the race? The answer lies within each individual – not in a mental or emotional capacity but in a very real and scientific capacity. This answer can only be discovered through evidence-based VO2 testing. Take the guessing out of your routine. Know what you need to do to reach that next level – don’t guess. Nothing can be more disheartening than training for a year for the big race only to find out you’ve over-trained or under-trained and your results are less-than satisfying. Come to TherxFitness where science meets fitness and set plan in action that  will lead to success.
