VO₂ Max Testing for Thyroid Conditions
Professional VO₂ max testing for thyroid conditions. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism fitness assessment with metabolic considerations.
Thyroid affects metabolic rate and exercise capacity:
- Hypothyroidism: Lower metabolism, reduced exercise capacity
- Hyperthyroidism: Elevated metabolism, exercise intolerance
- VO₂ max and RMR testing assess metabolic status
Underactive thyroid affects fitness:
- Reduced VO₂ max capacity
- Weight gain challenges
- Fatigue with exercise
- Testing shows actual capacity vs. perceived limitation
- Ensure thyroid medication optimized before testing
Overactive thyroid affects exercise tolerance:
- Elevated heart rate at rest and during exercise
- Exercise intolerance
- Cardiac complications possible
- Medical clearance essential if hyperthyroid
- Testing should wait until thyroid levels controlled
Comprehensive metabolic assessment:
- RMR Testing: Know actual metabolic rate
- VO₂ Max Testing: Exercise capacity assessment
- Verify thyroid medication effectiveness
- Weight management guidance
Controlled hypothyroidism: Generally safe for testing
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism: Physician clearance required, may need to defer testing
