INTRODUCTION:
If you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone trying to improve overall health, aerobic capacity testing can be a game-changer. At Physio360, we specialise in helping you understand your body's endurance level and customise training plans for peak cardiovascular performance.
What is Aerobic Capacity?

Sports performance
Weight management
Cardiovascular health
Recovery speed

Whether you're training for a marathon, managing a medical condition, or simply aiming to walk up the stairs without gasping for air, improving your aerobic endurance is key.
