VO2 max and Body Composition testing at Beacon Hospital Sports Lab (Dublin)
Discover the cutting-edge VO2 max and body composition testing at Beacon Hospital Sports Lab, featuring the advanced COSMED equipment! Chris Simpson, Exercise Physiologist, guides us through the Sports Lab Program for Endurance Athletes.
VO2 Max testing allows the team to closely monitor how your body responds during exercise. This test is easy to repeat throughout the season, providing a clear picture of your progress. Tailored to your individual abilities, it typically lasts between 8-12 minutes.
Body composition analysis is performed using the BOD POD, the gold standard for fast, accurate, and safe assessments. This Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system uses whole-body densitometric principles to accurately measure body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass) in both adults and children.
Whether you're an elite athlete or an amateur, the Sports Lab provides the ideal environment to optimize performance. They also cater to the general public, offering expert guidance to help you build a healthier lifestyle and reach your full potential.
