Assessments
Triathlon Training Assessments
Through one-on-one coaching assessments and training sessions, Max Multisport Coaching can help you determine if your training is working for you — or against you. Our assessments can also help you further develop in a chosen sport.
Training Program Startup or Review
Video Analysis
Often times the biggest and strongest triathlete is not the one to win the race, it's the person who has the best technique. We do know that good form can certainly make us faster and more efficient. The issue lies in that an athlete is not able to make their own form corrections, nor do they have a coach at their beckon call for each workout to do so either. So what can an athlete do?
To address this dilemma, Max Multisport Coaching has purchased state of the art video analysis software which allows us to take video footage from an athlete's training or racing (taken by us or sent to us) and break it down in small bits with voice-over commentary to make form improvements.
Through professional analysis by a certified coach, we can break footage down and make key technique adjustments. Final analysis will include suggestions and advice on how to correct form flaws. Also included will be video drills which the athlete can immediately implement into their training regimen. After some time, the athlete can come back for subsequent video sessions and see a side by side view of the improvements from one session to the next.
(For an example or sample of the video feedback feel free to and we will email an example to you.)
You'll get 3 sessions over the year filmed or analyzed. Fee is $165 for all 3 sessions in a single sport (for swimming, applies to one stroke such as freestyle, backstroke, etc.)
V02 Max Testing
Want to know how fit you actually are? VO2 Max Testing — previously used only by higher level professional or elite athletes — determines your cardiovascular fitness by measuring your oxygen utilization at different intensities.
V02 Max Testing is conducted while you exercise on a bike or treadmill. During a short workout, you breathe through a mask with a flow meter to measure gas exchange. The recorded information is then used to calculate your threshold heart rate and personal heart zones, which give specific target heart rates for you to train in so you can get the results you want, as well as your aerobic capacity and caloric expenditure.
Fee: $155
Metabolic Assessment
Determining your threshold heart rate and zones for training is key to determining your current fitness levels and potential. Don't just "workout," achieve your goal of better health, fitness or athletic performance. A Metabolic Assessment will give you a plan for how long you should train and at what intensity.
A Metabolic Assessment is conducted during 8 to 10 minutes of gradual increase of exercise intensity performed on a stationary bike or treadmill. Based on decades of medical research, it shows how efficiently your body burns calories and from what energy source (percentage in fat or carbohydrates).
Fee: $155
Heart Rate Field Assessment
A Heart Rate Field Assessment is conducted by a certified coach during an hour-long one-on-one session. Field assessment protocols, such as time trials or threshold assessments, determine your appropriate heart rate, paces or power zones for training effectively. A Heart Rate Field Assessment can be done outdoors on your bike, on the track for running, or in the pool swimming.
Upon completion, you will receive education on your power zones as well as tips on your form and a stretching routine for your chosen sport.
Fee: $85
