"I've been a coach with the Canadian national cycling team since 1999 and ever since I've been referring athletes to the Peak Centre. I feel that I can trust the professional way they test and train athletes to achieve their goals. I just wish I would have found out about them when I was racing!"

Individual Training Zones: The Key to Performance Improvements |
|
|
|
|
The Peak Centre’s Training System is designed to develop an athlete through specific, scientific and individual needs. Our physiologists do this through precise Training Zone determination. Each aerobic training zone is dedicated toward improving a specific aspect of performance.
Zones 1, 3 & 5 are specific physiological parameters that must be precisely trained for performance improvements.
Zones 2 & 4 are used for the development of specific needs depending on the intensity and duration requirements of the cycling event in which the athlete is involved (i.e. road racing, triathlon, mountain biking).
The key to determining training zones is accurate blood lactate analysis at several exercise intensity levels. Precision of intensity levels is guaranteed through the use of the most accurate cycling ergometer on the market, the CompuTrainer™. After thorough analysis of the assessment information, Peak Centre exercise physiologists can precisely determine an athlete’s individual aerobic training zones. |
