UCRISE (University of Canberra Research Institute for Sport and Exercise) has been working with many elite sporting teams offering sport and exercise science services for many years. I was lucky enough to be given a personal tour of the facilities by Professor Kevin Thompson recently and he is now opening up the facilities to recreational athletes.
If you ever wanted to monitor and plan your training regime by accurately measuring your VO2 max, blood lactate or body composition then this is the place to go! There is also a large heat/humidity/altitude chamber - it doesn't seem that intimidating since it is really just a large room with exercise equipment. Settings can be adjusted so you can train to acclimatise for heat and humidity and you can also incorporate some altitude training in your regime without climbing up a mountain!
UCRISE also offers coaching and consultations in strength and conditioning, nutrition and sports psychology so if you felt ignored because you don't have a team behind your team then give them a call.
