Exercise Physiology at Craftsbury
Craftsbury now offers physiology testing done by Pepa Miloucheva. Using the same testing equipment found at NASA, the National Institute of Health and U.S. Olympic Training Centers, this testing offers interested athletes the opportunity to quantify their current condition and training results. After testing, Pepa will review and interpret the data with clients in light of their fitness goals. Clients can expect determination of:
- VO2Max
- Anaerobic threshold
- Training zones
- Body fat
Pepa earned her masters degree at the Sport University in Sofia, Bulgaria in physical education and sports, coaching, and exercise physiology, with a specialization in middle and long distance sports. Beyond her academic credentials, Pepa is the 1994 World Champion and World Cup event winner in Ski Orienteering. She has coached Craftsbury's ski team since the late '90's, producing All-Americans, accomplished collegians, and National Team skiers.
Think you could benefit from testing? Interested rowers should complete the form with some basic information:
- Your name and the date of Craftsbury camp attending
- Best 2k erg score from the past 90 days
- Your average weekly training volume for the past month.
The volume and erg score will help Pepa better understand your current physical condition so she can select the best testing protocol for you. Then, after you arrive at camp, reserve your test time slot directly with Pepa so as to best accommodate your schedule.
The initial testing costs $125, with discounts possible for multiple testing or team rates - email us. While the test provides interesting data, it is most useful when repeated as part of an organized training plan to continue to measure progress and training effect.
