Equipment

Depending on the exercise activities you are accustomed to, in the IPS you can choose be-tween different types of ergometers to test your cardiopulmonary endurance capacity. You can either use a customary medical cycle ergometer (ergoline) to perform for a stress ECG or you try our Cyclus II cycle ergometer. This device allows using your own bicycle frame (MTB or rac-ing bike frame) so that you can make the test targeted optimally to your sport under familiar seat arrangement conditions.
In addition, our equipment comprises an extra-broad, slat-belt treadmill (Woodway) at ground level and a rowing ergometer.

For the respiratory gas analysis within our ergospirometry procedure we have a mobile and a stationary measuring unit. The blood gas analysis and the lactate determination are carried out simultaneously with the exercise test, optionally using an ABL 700 of Radiometer/Copenhagen or a Biosen C-Line of EKF Diagnostic. Immediately upon completion of the test, the results are available for evaluation .
