BST Performance Lab

We recommend ongoing testing every 2-3 months to monitor how your body is responding to training. Follow-up testing sessions allow us to confirm your training is having the desired impact on your performance.

How Does Testing Work?

Our testing procedure is designed to scientifically determine how your body responds to different types of performance demands.

Athletes will begin by doing a short (5-10min) warm-up & stretching. Before testing begins, the coaching staff will review and confirm the athlete-supplied data such as age, height, and weight to confirm that the equipment and tools are properly calibrated for accurate analysis.

To complete the test, athletes will be asked to perform a series of treadmill runs with scheduled periods of rest. Coaches will direct athletes regarding the required duration, prescribed effort and/or pace.

During these run/rest periods, coaches will be collecting single blood drop samples at pre-determined intervals via a simple prick of the earlobe. This sampling procedure allows us to determine how your body is reacting to and recovering from various levels of physical demand and rest.
Sampling data is recorded during the test and then uploaded to our analysis engine for immediate processing.

Following the completion of your testing, coaches will meet with you to review the results, discuss your overall goals, and identify the type of training required to continue progressing toward your goals.

What will the testing reveal?

Our analysis is detailed and expansive, outlining multiple data points that will inform how you train and how your body is reacting to various demands. We’ll share all of the details with you, but there are three primary metrics that hold the keys to your ability to perform.
