FaCT Education

Learn the science behind lactate testing...

Our certification courses have been developed to help coaches and their athletes to understand how the body responds to exercise.

Understanding the physiology behind exercise will help you to realize some of the fundamental flaws in standard lactate threshold protocols, and outdated VO2 max tests. Our courses offer in depth discussions on both the theory behind testing, and practical application of the results. We also include practical sessions on how to perform the FaCT test in the lab and in the field, in conjunction with both respiratory assessments and VO2 testing. All participants get hands-on experience with state of the art equipment.

FaCT certification is currently being provided at three different levels:


FaCT Education courses are recognized by both USAT and US Cycling, and BCAK for continuing education credits.

USAC: 1.3 CEC's
USAT: 10 CEC's
BCAK: 24 CEC's

 

A testimonial from a recent graduate:

"I've been meaning to write to you to let you know how much I enjoyed your class. Having been to many, many fitness related events, seminars & classes, I can safely say that yours was by far the most rewarding to date. Your knowledge combined with your patience, created an incredibly effective environment that really allowed your students to grasp the material. Jennisse & I were awed & extremely pleased with the learning we experienced with you last weekend. In fact, as a lifelong athlete involved in a variety of sports, & having been in triathlon for 6 years, I am certain that the 2 brief days spent with you will mark the turning point in my training philosophy forever. I hope that I can assist other athletes the way you've inspired & guided me."
