Complete Athlete Profiling in London
Biomechanical analysis with force plates, VO₂ max and blood lactate analysis, interpreted together.
One appointment lasting about three hours. We assess your movement and force production first, then your endurance physiology, and use the findings to set training priorities.

Movement, force, aerobic fitness and training zones.
Biomechanical analysis and force-plate testing guide movement, strength and power work. Blood lactate analysis and VO₂ max testing inform endurance training zones. Your report brings these findings together with priorities for your next training block.
01Biomechanical analysisMovement findings that guide exercise selection and priorities for strength and movement work.
How we measure it
A structured assessment of how you organise your body under load, the positions you can access and the movement strategies you use across a range of tasks. This is completed before the endurance tests.
02Force-plate testingHow you absorb and produce force, with priorities for strength and power training.
How we measure it
Hawkin Dynamics force plates record braking and propulsion, impulse, timing, power and the contribution of each limb. These findings are interpreted alongside the biomechanical analysis.
03Blood lactate analysisYour lactate curve, threshold estimates and training zones, with estimates distinguished from measured blood lactate values.
How we measure it
A progressive test in three-minute stages with a fingertip blood sample at each stage. The lactate curve is used to interpret LT1 and LT2 and establish training zones in heart rate and running pace or cycling power.
04VO₂ max testingVO₂ max, ventilatory threshold findings and recorded maximum heart rate. Lactate and ventilatory thresholds are reported separately because they come from different signals.
How we measure it
After recovery from the lactate test, a separate maximal test uses expired gas analysis to measure oxygen uptake and ventilatory responses.
05Priorities for the next blockThe findings across your assessments, interpreted together.
How we measure it
Drawn from reading the data sets against each other rather than in isolation.
Why it matters
Disagreement between areas is usually where the clearest opportunity sits, which is what the report leads with.
06Your KPIsThe two or three measures worth tracking for you.
How we measure it
Selected from the full data set against the demands of your sport.
Why it matters
Lets later testing be targeted rather than repeated wholesale, so a reassessment measures change rather than describing your physiology again.
07Your reportYour assessment findings and training priorities in one report.
How we measure it
An integrated summary, then the movement, force and endurance findings, with interpretation of what each measure is useful for.
Why it matters
Closes with priorities, KPIs and a recommended interval before retesting. It describes your current profile and sets priorities; it does not diagnose injury or guarantee that injury will be avoided.
One appointment, about three hours, with movement, force and endurance findings interpreted together in one report.
Measured with
- KORR CardioCoach MAX for expired gas analysis
- ARKRAY Lactate Pro 2, fingertip sample analysed at every stage
- Hawkin Dynamics force plates, jump and force protocols
- Movement strategy assessment against a structured model
Book one appointment for the full assessment. The biomechanical and force-plate work comes before the endurance tests. Allow about three hours in total.

Endurance Performance Profiling covers VO₂ max and blood lactate testing for £280. Choose Complete Athlete Profiling when you also want biomechanical analysis and force-plate testing in the same appointment. Resting metabolic rate and sweat testing are booked separately.
Athletes with a question spanning more than one area.
Suited to
- Athletes with a performance question that spans physiology, movement and force production
- Athletes establishing a broad baseline before a significant training block
- Those who want strength and endurance priorities set from the same session
- Athletes whose progress has flattened without an obvious cause in any single area
- Athletes returning to structured training after an extended interruption
Less suited to
- Anyone whose question is answered by one assessment: book that one
- Athletes not currently training to a structure, as there is little to apply the priorities to
- Anyone seeking a clinical diagnosis, which this assessment does not provide
- Anyone unable to allow about three hours for the appointment
This assessment is not suitable for everyone, and we would rather say so before you book than afterwards. If a single assessment answers your question, book that instead.

Questions we get asked.
No. Resting metabolic rate and sweat and hydration testing are separate services. Complete Athlete Profiling covers biomechanical analysis with force plates, VO₂ max and blood lactate analysis.
Your Complete Athlete Profiling report is sent by email within 24 hours of your assessment.
Choose it when you want movement, force and endurance results interpreted together to guide your training. If your question is only about pacing and training intensity, Endurance Performance Profiling at £280 covers VO₂ max and blood lactate analysis.
Complete Athlete Profiling costs £600 at DVOTION Labs in London. It includes biomechanical analysis with force-plate testing, VO₂ max and blood lactate analysis in one appointment lasting about three hours, plus one written report. This is £80 less than booking the combined movement and force assessment and Endurance Performance Profiling separately.
Complete Athlete Profiling suits athletes with a specific performance question and the intention to act on the answer over a training block. If you are not currently training to a structure, or want a single measurement, a shorter assessment is the more sensible choice.
No. It is a performance assessment, not a clinical examination. It does not diagnose injury, and it does not guarantee that injury will be prevented. Findings describe how you currently produce and organise movement and force. If something in the assessment warrants clinical attention, we will say so and recommend you see an appropriate professional.
Not by itself. Differences between limbs are common and frequently reflect the way an athlete organises a task, their sport, or their training history. What matters is whether a difference is consistent across protocols, whether it aligns with the movement findings, and whether it changes over time. It is interpreted in context rather than treated as a defect.
One appointment lasting about three hours. Biomechanical analysis including force-plate testing comes first, followed by blood lactate analysis, recovery and VO₂ max testing. You choose one date and time at checkout.
Eat normally beforehand and finish your last meal approximately four hours before the appointment. Water is allowed. Keep your usual carbohydrate intake, avoid caffeine on the day and arrive well hydrated. Avoid hard training, including heavy lower-body work, for 48 hours beforehand. Bring shorts, a vest or crop top, and your normal training shoes. No overnight fast is required. For retesting, replicate your previous meal and timing.
Typically after a full training block, at 12 to 16 weeks or longer. Because this establishes a broad baseline, many athletes retest a single area sooner and return to the full profile annually or before a significant training phase.
