The Future of Fitness Testing

What is it?

A live seminar by WOD-Science × WODMotions exploring how fitness testing is moving beyond traditional endurance physiology toward more sport-specific and functional performance assessment.

For decades, endurance athletes have relied on treadmill and cycle-based testing to assess physiology: thresholds, VO₂ max and other key performance markers. Coaches have used this data extensively to monitor training and ensure athletes are training in the right zones.

But HYROX presents a different challenge.

It is a mixed-modal sport where running matters - but not running alone. Performance depends on running under fatigue, recovering between functional stations and sustaining power output across a wide variety of movements.

This raises an important question:
