Nature's Symphony
Clinically Guided Performance Insights
At Bespoke Longevity on the Gold Coast, exercise testing is delivered in a doctor-led setting to provide structured insight into health, fitness, and long-term wellbeing. Using advanced, non-invasive diagnostics, these assessments measure how your body uses oxygen and energy, offering detailed data that may inform strategies around training, recovery, or nutrition.
Your consultation begins with a review of your health history, current activity levels, and personal goals. Based on this, our clinical team recommends the most relevant testing — such as VO₂ max or resting metabolic rate. Each test is conducted in a safe, supervised environment, with results interpreted in the context of your unique physiology and lifestyle.
These insights are not just for athletes. They can be valuable for anyone seeking to better understand cardiovascular health, metabolism, or energy use. By incorporating exercise testing into broader longevity care, we create a foundation for evidence-based, personalised recommendations.
How Exercise Testing Supports Care
Exercise testing at Bespoke Longevity provides measurable, clinically relevant insights that go beyond standard check-ups. By analysing oxygen uptake, aerobic capacity, and resting metabolism, these assessments may help identify strengths, areas for improvement, and potential health considerations.
The value lies not only in the raw numbers, but in how they are interpreted and applied. Our doctors and allied health clinicians translate results into practical recommendations that may guide training intensity, recovery strategies, and nutrition planning. Because your physiology is unique, results are never viewed in isolation — they are integrated with other diagnostics and reviewed over time.
Repeat testing may also be used to track progress, offering a structured way to monitor changes in performance or metabolism. For some, this data contributes to longevity planning; for others, it provides clarity around lifestyle adjustments. In either case, the focus remains on safe, evidence-based care tailored to your evolving needs.
Exercise Testing Options
We offer two primary types of exercise testing at Bespoke Longevity. Both are non-invasive, doctor-led assessments that provide data to guide your care plan.
- VO₂ Max Testing : This assessment measures your aerobic capacity and cardiovascular performance by evaluating how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. Results may highlight endurance levels, recovery ability, and cardiovascular fitness. When interpreted clinically, these findings can inform training strategies or broader longevity planning.
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) : This test calculates how much energy your body uses at rest. It provides insights into metabolism and energy expenditure, which may be useful when tailoring nutrition or weight management approaches. RMR testing is often combined with other diagnostics to provide a clearer picture of metabolic health.
Each option is carried out under supervision in a clinical environment and interpreted within your overall health profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is VO₂ testing performed?
VO₂ testing is carried out on a treadmill or bike while connected to monitoring equipment that measures oxygen use and heart rate. The process is supervised by clinicians and adapted to your ability, so results reflect your personal fitness level. Data is then reviewed within a clinical framework.
What can resting metabolic rate testing be used for?
RMR testing provides an estimate of how much energy your body uses at rest. This information may be useful in guiding personalised nutrition or weight management strategies. Results are interpreted alongside your health profile, so recommendations remain relevant to your overall care plan.
Do I need to prepare for exercise testing?
Preparation is simple. You may be asked to avoid heavy exercise, caffeine, or large meals before your test. Clear instructions are given during your booking, and our team explains each step on the day to keep the process comfortable and straightforward.
Is exercise testing only for athletes?
Not at all. While athletes often use these tests to refine training, many people find value in learning about their cardiovascular fitness or metabolism. Exercise testing may be helpful for anyone interested in understanding their body better as part of a doctor-led approach to long-term health.
