C&C has partnered with Anglia Ruskin University to provide fitness assessments to club members at a discounted cost of £150 for a single laboratory test. However, if any athlete books three tests, the cost will be reduced to £135 per test:

Test includes:

• Body composition testing
• Haematology

Also included, a treadmill test for the assessment of:

• Blood lactate
• Heart rate
• Running Economy
• Speed profiles

In addition, ARU will assess your VO2max* and vVO2max**. 

They will provide verbal feedback within 20 minutes of the test being completed, and a written report within 48 hours of completion.  

These tests provide data that can support you with useful indications of appropriate training paces to reflect your current fitness levels. If used well, this can help you to train more productively. Three tests can show changes in fitness over the period of time between tests.

*VO2max, or maximal oxygen consumption, is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during intensive exercise. It serves as a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.

**vV02max is the velocity at maximum oxygen uptake, also known as maximal aerobic speed. It is the speed at which maximal oxygen uptake is reached.

In addition, ARU run a Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic which all athletes can sign up to.  See here for more details.
