Juerg Feldman and Herb Chlebek of FaCT Canada will be giving a FREE presentation at the HSP training facility on May 26th from 6pm – 7 30 pm.
The presentation will feature information on of the latest exercise physiology testing techniques featuring the Fit Mate Pro, The Lactate Pro and the Physio Flow Enduro.
Juerg and Herb will also give a demonstration showing how the worlds smallest testing lab can provide information on how to decipher what’s keeping an endurance athlete form reaching his or her true aerobic potential. Is it the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, an O2 transport situation or an issue of fuel utilization that is keeping the athlete from progressing? Perhaps it’s a combination of all of the above. Using the latest in testing equipment along with some thinking outside of the box, FaCT is closing the gap between science and the coaches.
What is FaCT?
Fact is a method for testing and training in endurance sport and is the product of over 10 years of practical research in the field. The basis of the system is a Heart Rate – Lactate test to establish heart rates used to create training zones.. After a ramp test the data is shown as a lactate vs heart rate curve and establishes the heart rate for the Lactate Balance Point. The Lactate Balance Point heart rate is a dynamic value which changes with training and racing.
Todd Herriott, founder of HSP, traveled to Quesnal, BC in 1998 to meet with Juerg and Herb to learn about the FaCT testing system and the theory behind it. Todd started FaCT NYC that same year and started using the FaCT testing protocol as part of his coaching practice and personally as a competitive cyclist. HSP is the first training facility in the region to use FaCT protocols in conjunction with VO2 testing. In the coming months HSP will also be adding the Physio Flow Enduro to the list of testing and training tools offered at the facility.
