Metabolic Testing - What We Offer
At Box Nutrition, we offer a range of metabolic testing to suit your needs. See below what test or package is right for you.
VO2 Test
The VO2 Test is a simple exercise test which measures your fitness levels, fat burning, provides you with heart rate training zones as well help identify areas in your fitness that you need to improve.
The test is tailored to your fitness level and sport.
Who is it for?
Anybody looking to improve their performance or understand their fat burning.
RMR Test
The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test measures your kcal burn at rest. This enables us to provide you with a kcal and macro breakdown specific to your metabolism.
Pair with a VO2 test to measure you fat burning during activity.
Who is it for?

Metabolic efficiency test
The metabolic efficiency test is a long form VO2 test which focuses more on fuel usage (carb:fat) at different intensities. This longer test is also more accurate at defining your aerobic threshold, which is important for long distance endurance athletes.
