Testing & Optimisation
Measure what matters. Train with greater clarity.
Performance testing gives athletes objective information about how their body moves, produces power and responds to exercise. It replaces assumptions with individual data that can guide training, pacing, equipment and performance decisions.
Exercise Institute provides physiology testing, movement analysis, bike fitting and performance optimisation services for cyclists, runners, triathletes and active people across Perth. Each assessment is interpreted in context, helping turn test results into practical next steps rather than numbers that sit unused.
Testing & optimisation services.
Explore the available assessments below. Some services measure physical capacity, while others focus on movement, position, efficiency, aerodynamics or equipment fit.
Power Testing.
Assess cycling power across relevant durations to understand your strengths, limitations and current performance profile. The results can help guide training priorities, track development and support more specific preparation for competition.
Explore Power TestingVO2 Max Testing.
Measure your maximum aerobic capacity and examine how your body responds as exercise intensity increases. VO2 max testing can support fitness profiling, training prescription and objective performance monitoring.
Explore VO2 Max TestingLactate Testing.
Examine how blood lactate changes across increasing exercise intensities to identify important physiological thresholds and establish more individualised training zones.
Explore Lactate TestingPace Testing.
Establish relevant running speeds, physiological responses and pacing markers to help runners train at more appropriate intensities and prepare more effectively for their target events.
Explore Pace TestingDEXA Scans.
Obtain a detailed assessment of body composition, including fat mass, lean mass and bone mineral density. This can support decisions around nutrition, training, health and long-term physical development.
Explore DEXA Scans3D Bike Fitting.
Use three-dimensional motion analysis to assess riding position and movement. Bike fitting can help improve comfort, reduce avoidable limitations and create a position suited to the rider's individual structure and goals.
Explore 3D Bike FittingEfficiency Testing.
Add metabolic measurement to the bike-fitting process to examine the oxygen cost of maintaining a set power. This allows positional changes to be assessed against both movement and physiological demand.
Explore Efficiency TestingAero Testing.
Evaluate the aerodynamic effect of changes to riding position, equipment and setup. Aero testing helps athletes pursue measurable improvements while considering comfort, control and the ability to sustain the position in real conditions.
Explore Aero TestingBont Shoe Fitting.
Receive an in-person sizing assessment for Bont cycling shoes based on the length, width and individual characteristics of your feet, rather than relying only on standard retail sizing.
