The threshold test on a treadmill or cycle ergometer is suitable for athletes and for competitive amateurs who are working towards specific fitness goals. The test determines your individual threshold levels by measuring blood lactate.

Knowing your thresholds allows your training to be planned more precisely and targeted at different intensity zones. The test results can be used to monitor your fitness level, performance and the effects of your training.

The test is particularly suitable for runners, cross-country skiers, orienteers, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes and other active people interested in their endurance fitness and training. The test can be carried out on either a treadmill or a cycle ergometer, depending on your sporting background and goals.
