ENDURANCE PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTICS AND TRAINING ADVICE
Performance diagnostics in conjunction with a comprehensive sports medical examination is an important component of many sporting disciplines. In addition to determining the general state of health and the associatedfitness for sport, the aim of such a sports medical performance diagnosis is, to determine the preciseindividual performance capacity.
Such a sports medical performance examination is not only necessary for elite sports in order to achieve the best possible individual performance, but ambitious recreational athletes and sports beginners can also train with maximised efficiency, protecting themselves from unnecessary excessive stress during training.
The focus of our performance diagnostics is on spiro-ergometry and lactate analysis.
EQUIPMENT
Depending on the type of sport practised, various types of exercise bike are available at the IPS for testing cardiopulmonary endurance performance capacity. In addition to the choice of a conventional medical bicycle ergometer (Ergoline) to perform an exercise ECG, we also offer you the option of using a Cyclus II bicycle ergometer. With this device, you have the option of using your own bicycle frame (MTB or road bike frame) so that you can perform the test in a very sport-specific manner under familiar sitting position conditions. The equipment also includes an extra-wide, ground-level slatted belt treadmill (Woodway) and a rowing ergometer.
We have a measuring unit from the Ganshorn company (Power Cube) for respiratory gas analysis as part of spiro-ergometry. The blood gas analysis and the lactate determination are carried out simultaneously with the exercise test, either using a Rapid Point 500 from Siemens or using a Biosen C-Line from EKF Diagnostic.
Immediately after the examination, the results can be used for evaluation with the winlactat CPET Architect software (mesics), among others.

PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST (SPIRO-ERGOMETRY, LACTATE KINETICS, TRAINING ADVICE)
This service is aimed in particular at ambitious recreational and amateur athletes who are interested in a more detailed evidence of their performance and training condition. Here, evidence can be provided regarding the cardiovascular system, energy metabolism and the respiratory system, in addition to the basic performance check.
What you can expect
- Exercise test including exercise ECG (optionally on a bicycle ergometer or treadmill) according to a standardised step protocol with regular heart rate recording and lactate determination
- Continuous measurement of respiratory gases under stress (oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release), determination of peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) and measurement of the metabolic proportions of carbohydrates and fats using indirect calorimetry
- Detailed advice consultation including training planning,
- taking into account your personal training goals Detailed advice consultation including training planning, taking into account your personal training goals
Price: EUR 169
