Ergospirometry<\/strong><\/p>\n

During prolonged physical exertion, the ability to obtain energy through aerobic processes and keep anaerobic metabolism to a minimum is extremely important. During physical exertion, our muscles produce lactate. As long as the body can reduce its level, energy production is described as aerobic. If an individual’s muscle workload threshold is exceeded, the lactate concentration in the muscles will increase so quickly that the body will no longer be able to reduce it fast enough. We then enter the anaerobic zone.<\/p>\n

To achieve optimal results in endurance training, we should train at the boundary between these two zones: aerobic and anaerobic. Exercise capacity tests are performed to determine this individual zone.<\/p>\n

The most advanced method is ERGOSPIROMETRY, which involves analysing the gases exhaled by an athlete during exercise.<\/p>\n

Ergospirometry (spiroergometry, exercise capacity test)<\/strong> is a cardiopulmonary exercise test used worldwide for athletes, people who take part in sport recreationally, and patients attending cardiology, rehabilitation and respiratory clinics. This exercise capacity test, which assesses respiratory gases during physical exertion, is objectively the best method for investigating breathlessness on exertion. Ergospirometry provides reproducible information about the causes of exercise intolerance, enables differentiation between cardiac and respiratory causes of breathlessness, allows assessment of ventilatory capacity and provides prognostic information. It can also be used to assess treatment effectiveness.<\/p>\n

We offer ergospirometry (exercise capacity tests) on a private, self-funded basis using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment from CORTEX.<\/p>\n

Until now, this method has been used in medicine or competitive sport. It is now becoming increasingly popular among amateur athletes and people who maintain their fitness for health reasons.<\/p>\n

The ergospirometry device uses precise O2 and CO2 analysers to analyse each breath, enabling:<\/strong><\/p>\n
