Method
The test protocol is a product of long term research and study. As a result we developed two step testing procedure to reach a better approach to competition reality.
We achieve the test absolutely on football field. On the treadmill the running velocities and dynamics show significant differences from the real football running skills.
In evaluation and assesment we prefer using individual threshold methode instead of constant numeric values (2 - 4 mmol). The recent studies shows us the individual lactate threshold varies between 3,5 to 5,5 mmol. In our test we evaluate the players' capacity not only with lactate results but also with cardiovascular response , observation on field , recovery rate and players' subjective comments.
Humanstudio staff is experienced and skillfull in sport medicine and testing procedures. We are all aware of the spirit of the event. Privacy policy is requirement of medical ethic and our duty as well. All the data we get from your team is only open for you!

Track
The track we use is an updated version of the track developed by Dr.Probst . It has 14 points with 10m distance , totally 140 meters.
The advantages are;
*It is more suitable for football with changing directions without losing pace.
*The circular tracks has unilateral turning points but the track we use has mild bilateral turning points that avoid of overuse injuries.
*The players perform high adaptations to pace signals and test standarts
* The track is less boring than circular and shuttle-run tracks.

Practise
First of all, the players which has similar physical properties divided into the groups. Max. number for a group must be not more than 6.
The heart rate monitors setup on record mode. After warming up the first group began run for 5 min. at the first pace which is conrtolled by computer signals. At the end of 5 min. blood samples collected from every player. After sampling player begin running at the next pace which is a little faster than the first one. Same procedure goes on for the other 5 paces.
By this way after analysing hearth rate records and lactic acid levels we can detect players' Anaerobic Threshold (ANT) , Aerobic Threshold (AT) Paces and Hearth Rates , Recovery Speed and Endrance Capacity.



Blood Sampling
Bloob sampling performed by medical staff . Sterilization and hygiene is priority in sampling. Blood sampling technique and timing is also important. We use automated lancet devices for capillary blood samping from fingertips.
Humanstudio staff is all medical person and respect medical ethics.

Evaluation
Evaluation is made by multifunctional approach. Physical capacity and skill of the player must be assesed together. Finally a detailed file is prepared and training modules is loaded to Polar heart rate monitors.
The results of the test and training proposal at these values can provide a good preparation in preseason and midseason periods. And also can help maintaining high physical condition in competition period.
Materials
We use newest technology and gold standart devices;
* Polar heart rate monitors
* YSI 1500 Lactate Analyzer
* Computer based pace signals
* Newtest instruments for sprint and jump tests
* Holtain Calipers and antropometric devices
