Ever wondered how efficiently your body really performs during training?

At SSMC@Novena, advanced exercise testing helps athletes and active individuals better understand how their bodies respond to exercise, from oxygen use to muscle endurance and movement efficiency.

VO₂ Max Test: Find out how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. This helps you understand your aerobic fitness and set the right training intensity for endurance activities like running, cycling, or swimming.

Lactate Threshold Test: Learn how your muscles cope with lactic acid during high-intensity efforts. Knowing your limits can help you train smarter, push further safely, and reduce the risk of overtraining.

Running Economy & Video Gait Analysis: See how efficiently your body moves and spot movement patterns that could affect performance or increase injury risk. Our specialists can then suggest adjustments to help you move more safely and effectively.

Every athlete’s journey is unique, and understanding your body is the first step to training safely. Pre-Participation Screening (PPS) at SSMC@Novena proactively identifies musculoskeletal issues, past injuries, and underlying health conditions that could be affected by exercise.

We offer structured PPS packages, including consultations, physical examinations, and targeted investigations like ECG, 2D Echo, stress tests, and lab panels tailored to your age, sport, and fitness level.

With these insights, you can train smarter, reduce injury risk, and support long-term athletic health. Speak with us to find out how PPS can help you stay safe and well-prepared for your activity.

What you eat and drink before and after your workouts can really impact how you feel and perform.

Making thoughtful nutrition choices helps your body stay energised, recover faster, and adapt better, whether you’re hitting the pavement, the bike, or the weights. Simple steps like a balanced pre-workout meal, refuelling after exercise, and staying hydrated can go a long way in supporting your training and overall well-being.

Speak with us to learn more about how nutrition can support your training and recovery.
