SwimLabs, in conjunction with CU Sports Medicine Dr. Inigo San Millan, is proud to now offer Lactate Testing and Blood Profiling.
Your Lactate Profile and Threshold measures your Athletic Endurance Performance, and is used to predict Athletic Performance. Basically, it works by telling you how efficient your muscles are at removing lactic acid produced during training.
Your Blood Profile is a measure of various blood markers, and can indicate your level of Fatigue. Your Blood Profile can be used to Detect and Prevent Over Training.
Here’s what to expect during a session:

During Lactate Tests, you will swim in an Endless Pool at Swimlabs. You will undergo a set of four or five swims at incrementally increasing speeds until you reach a maximum effort.
At the end of your test, a very small blood sample will be taken to measure your lactate.
Once your Training session is complete, we will go over your results, and help design a training plan for you.

For a Blood Profiling, you will come to the CU Sports Medicine Clinic in Denver, where we will do an analysis on your blood to help your coach personalize your training regimine.

Both of these programs are aimed to help you train better. For more information, call 303.798.7946!
