Power Testing

Understand how your body performs at different levels of intensity

Power Testing assesses your aerobic performance through a graded test designed to identify the point where your physiology reaches maximal aerobic power.

MAP (Maximal Aerobic Power) Test
Measures aerobic endurance performance and provides an estimate of VO2 Max based on the highest sustainable work achieved as intensity increases.

Why it matters

The MAP Test delivers clear training direction:

• Aerobic training zones for structured endurance work
• An estimated VO2 Max fitness benchmark
• Performance prediction across a broad range of durations

VO2 Max testing remains the gold standard for pinpoint accuracy. MAP testing provides a highly accessible alternative that still offers strong insight into aerobic capability.

What you will learn

• How efficiently you produce power as intensity rises
• The upper limit of your aerobic performance
• Strengths and limitations in sustained efforts

This data allows targeted training prescription so your endurance sessions drive the intended physiological adaptations.

Who is it for

• Athletes building structured fitness or returning to training
• Riders preparing for races or performance goals
• Anyone wanting objective fitness insights without a full lab test

If you are healthy and pass pre-screening, you can complete this test.

FAQ’s

What is Power Testing?

A practical way to measure aerobic performance and estimate VO2 Max through a structured, graded power test.

Why do a Power Test?

It is a cost-effective method to understand your current fitness level. The results guide endurance training zones and performance prediction to ensure intensity is targeted correctly.

How does the test work?

The session takes around 30 minutes and includes:

MAP Test
• A graded power effort that progressively increases over approximately 15 minutes
• Termination when you can no longer maintain the required power

What should I bring with me?

• Cycling clothing and shoes
• Towel and water bottle
• Chest-strap heart rate monitor
• Your own bike for the MAP Test if preferred
• We also have scientific-grade Wattbikes with integrated power meters available

Can anyone do a Power Test?

Yes. As long as you are healthy and clear the pre-screening questionnaire, anyone can complete this test.
