Additional Services

Anaerobic Threshold Testing

This test determines the optimum heart rate that endurance competitors should work at during competition. The test consists of taking several finger blood samples during an incremental test to maximum heart rate on a cycle or treadmill. From this the point at which an individual starts to accumulate lactic acid, can be determined and the correlated heart rate identified. This is the optimum aerobic work rate. Once again, this service is unique within PERSONAL TRAINING, and is a ‘must’ for participants  in endurance sports, even those who are recreational.

Sports Therapy

Wilson Health also offers a sports therapy and rehabilitation service predominantly for musculoskeletal and neuromuscular (nerve) problems. Having studied anatomy & physiology in great depth throughout his Masters & Hon’s degrees and also during his FA sports injuries studies, George works with clients from initial injury right through to full function and fitness. Previous clients of note have been top flat jockey Francis Norton, ex-professional footballers Duncan Ferguson, John Aldridge and Alan Kennedy, and the former British super-middleweight boxing champion Tony Dodson (see pics). 

Lecturing & Training

Holding a post-16 teaching qualification (CERT Ed) has gained George years of invaluable experience of teaching in FE and HE. Previous employment includes senior lecturer in Sport Science at Hugh Baird College Bootle (1998), St Helen’s College (1999), and the HND Sport Science programme (first year degree) for University Of Central Lancashire (2002-03). Previous and current clients who use George’s lecturing services include Widnes 6th form College, West Derby Comprehensive School, and Victoria Health Clubs Formby & Southport. Also the Community Health Action Programme (CHAPS), part of the NHS. A sample of one of George’s lectures entitled ‘Myths & Misnomers of Exercise’ can be downloaded in PDF format here.
