Know Your Numbers. Train With Purpose.
CSH Testing
Every athlete responds to training differently. CSH uses lactate and VO₂ testing to measure your individual physiology.
Instead of relying on generic formulas or estimated heart-rate zones, we use real data to help you understand your fitness, train at the right intensity, and measure meaningful progress over time.
Take the guesswork out of training with objective data that reveals how your body responds to exercise.
Lactate Testing
A lactate test is one of the most powerful tools in endurance sports science. By measuring blood lactate levels at various exercise intensities, we can precisely identify your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, giving you the data to train smarter, not just harder.
Whether you’re preparing for your first race or chasing a podium finish, lactate testing gives you a competitive edge backed by science.
What to Expect:
• Structured series of exercise stages at increasing intensities
• Small blood samples taken from your fingertip at each stage
• Real-time lactate readings plotted to build your personal lactate curve
• Detailed post-test report identifying your key training zones
Why It Matters:
• Train at the right intensity — avoid overtraining and undertraining
• Identify your true threshold zones for targeted workouts
• Track fitness improvements over time with objective data
• Maximize performance gains while reducing injury risk
VO₂ Testing
VO₂ testing measures how effectively your body uses oxygen during exercise, providing a direct assessment of your aerobic capacity. Combined with heart rate and exercise intensity data, testing identifies personalized training zones, evaluates aerobic fitness, and establishes a baseline for tracking performance over time.
What to Expect:
• Progressive exercise stages that increase in intensity
• Breath-by-breath measurement of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production
• Continuous monitoring of heart rate and exercise intensity
• Identification of VO₂ max and key physiological markers
• Personalized training-zone recommendations
• Detailed post-test results and interpretation
Why It Matters:
• Establish your VO₂ max and understand your current level of aerobic fitness
• Determine training intensities specific to your physiology
• Know when to push, when to back off, and how hard your key workouts should be
• Identify opportunities to improve aerobic capacity and make your training more effective
• Retest over time to objectively measure changes in aerobic fitness and training response
The difference.
Lactate Testing
Understand your thresholds and establish precise training zones
VO₂ Testing
Measure your aerobic capacity and understand how efficiently your body uses oxygen.
Lactate + VO₂ Testing Together
For the most complete picture of your physiology, combine both tests to understand both your aerobic capacity and the intensity at which your physiology changes.
Testing isn’t just for elite athletes. It’s for everyone.
Whether you’re a first-time endurance athlete establishing a baseline, a seasoned competitor looking to optimize your training, or a coach looking for better data to guide an athlete’s program, physiological testing provides objective information you can use to train with greater precision.
Data is only useful if you know what to do with it.
Your test results shouldn’t end with a spreadsheet. We’ll help you understand what your numbers mean and how to apply them to your training. From personalized training zones to recommendations for workout intensity, your results become actionable information you can use in your day-to-day training.
