Seattle Performance Medicine enables athletes, from beginner to world class, to implement strategies that produce measurable results.
Exercise Testing
Each test is conducted and interpreted by an Exercise Physiologist with Dr. Cooper's oversight. Dr. Cooper personally meets with each patient to discuss the results and provide in-depth insight and training recommendations.
For the greatest applicability, athletes should test in their sport. We are the only facility in the country able to test swimmers' VO2 levels while swimming. Cyclists test on a Racermate Velotron electronically calibrated ergometer. Runners test on a precision calibrated Precor treadmill with 'footplant technology' which resembles outdoor running. Rowers test on a Concept II rowing ergometer.
