ScienceBehindPerformance

The goal of Active Sports Training is to provide information and education regarding exercise for humans and horses, offering research resources and consulting services.

Evidence-based exercise science for human and equine performance.

The Discipline

Exercise physiology brought into practice.

Live Measurement

What we measure

Heart rate, VO₂ uptake, training load, recovery index, and many other biomarkers — captured continuously to build a complete picture of performance and recovery.

The Performance Pipeline

From Laboratory to Track

A structured, repeatable methodology translating raw physiological measurement into applied conditioning and competitive edge.

Stage 01

Research

Peer-reviewed literature defines the question. Every protocol starts from published physiology, not tradition or trend.

Step 01

Stage 02

Exercise

Controlled loading — incremental, steady-state or intermittent — applied to the athlete or horse under standardised conditions.

Step 02

Stage 03

Measurement

Gas exchange, heart rate, lactate, force, kinematics and GPS captured simultaneously with laboratory-grade instrumentation.

Step 03

Stage 04

Analysis

Thresholds, economy, asymmetry and load-response modelling interpreted against normative and individual baselines.

Step 04

Stage 05

Performance

Findings translated into prescriptions: intensity zones, progression, recovery windows and risk-reduction strategies.
