PERFORMANCE RECOVERY PROFILE

Service Description

Performance Recovery Profile (PRP) Sprint-recover-repeat capacity is the coin of the realm in HYROX, CrossFit, criteriums, and short-course triathlon. The PRP pinpoints how hard you can surge and how fast you bounce back—so you can pace attacks, workouts, and transitions with data, not feel. Why it matters • Surge power wins races. A 5 % gap in recovery speed can mean 1st vs. 5th when the final interval hits. • Limiter detection. By pairing VO₂, blood-lactate, and muscle-oxygen (SmO₂) trends, we see whether the bottleneck is aerobic refill, buffering capacity, or local muscle perfusion. • Targeted training fixes. Knowing the culprit lets you choose the right tool: tempo float intervals, glycolytic sprints, or active-recovery tweaks. Test protocol 1. Warm-up followed by three to four all-out 30–60 s bouts on treadmill, rower, or bike. 2. Recovery window (4–8 min): continuous VO₂ and SmO₂, lactate finger-stick at set marks. 3. Repeat to confirm consistency; total test time ±40 min. Deliverables (within 72 h) • Peak power/pace vs. recovery curves (VO₂, lactate, SmO₂). • Time-to-recover metrics at 50 % and 90 % baseline. • Identified limiter (cardio-metabolic, buffering, local O₂). • Custom interval prescriptions and pacing advice. Prep checklist • No maximal sessions 48 h prior. • Arrive hydrated; light carb snack 2 h before. • Wear training kit; bikes may use personal pedals. Best suited for • HYROX/CrossFit athletes hammering repeat efforts. • Road racers and crit specialists needing decisive surges. • Short-course triathletes sharpening bike-run transitions. • Tactical or team-sport athletes who rely on burst-recovery patterns.
