KSI already provides physiological athlete testing services to the public. We have a state-of-the-art environmental exercise laboratory, which allows us to precisely control exercise environmental conditions and measure physiological functioning during exercise. Examples of some of the testing we provide to the public are aerobic fitness (VO2max testing), substrate utilization testing, sweat rate and sweat electrolyte analysis, heat tolerance testing, lactate threshold testing, heat acclimatization management and body composition analysis.

 

 

Fundraising Commitment

Charity runners commit to fundraising a minimum of $3,000 before two weeks prior to race day. If the fundraising pledge is not met, the remaining balance is charged to the charity runner.
