About our tests
Why do the tests?
Testing plays a crucial role in understanding key aspects of a person, their skills, cognitive abilities or psychological characteristics. By participating in testing, individuals gain insights into areas such as their strengths, challenges and areas for growth.
These insights can inform decisions related to personal development, education, career paths, relationships, and even mental health. Here's why testing is important:
What they are based on
Many tests have their roots in well-regarded psychological frameworks, such as cognitive theory, behavioral psychology, and personality theory.
Physiological tests
Threshold tests, Wingate & VO2max
Advanced fitness testing to determine your physiological thresholds and maximum oxygen uptake, from sport-specific analyses to complete testing profiles for endurance athletes. We help you train more effectively through precise measurements of your performance.
The big favorite. Test your endurance with our cycling threshold test - measure heart rate, power & lactate. Get personalized training zones, expert analysis and advice.
Test your endurance with our running threshold test – measure heart rate, speed & lactate. Get personalized training zones, expert analysis and advice.
Test your skiing endurance with our threshold test on the SkiErg or roller skis on a treadmill – measure heart rate, lactate, speed, watts & RPE for accurate training zones and optimized capacity.

Combine threshold testing and VO2max – our best-selling testing package. Choose treadmill, bike, roller skis or SkiErg. Get expert analysis, review and verbal training advice.
Maximize your performance with our VO2MAX test. Measure VO2, VE, Rf, heart rate & energy expenditure on treadmill, crosstrainer, SkiErg or bike.
Get precise measurements of your explosiveness with our Wingate test. In 30 seconds we measure anaerobic power on the Monark PeakBike 894E – in absolute numbers and per kg. Perfect for evaluating strength, explosiveness and short-term endurance.
Analyse
Body, function and technique analyses
Aktivitus conducts expert analyses to map your physical status and potential, from basic strength and movement tests to advanced physiological measurements. We help you optimize your training with scientifically proven methods.
Analysis of your mobility, strength and stability + personalized strength and mobility program.
This test measures your body composition via ultrasound. You'll find out your body fat percentage, BMI, BMR (basal metabolic rate), and where on your body your fat is located. Belly fat is worse than having fat stored on your butt or thighs from a health perspective.
This blood test primarily rules out iron deficiency, which in turn can negatively affect oxygen uptake.
HB Analysis + Glucose Test + Blood Fat Test. A complete and good package to get a good and clear picture.
Good running technique gives you good running economy, i.e. the ability to expend little energy at a given speed. This is very crucial for how fast you can run and how long you can run.
Combining function and running technique analysis where we get to the bottom of why you run the way you do. Measuring strength and mobility and then applying it to your running technique provides the most comprehensive analysis of your running!
Analysis of skiing technique when staking and diagonal skiing. What is your position and center of gravity, what does your insertion look like, how do you work with different gears.
