Stress Level Analysis
Assessment of recovery capacity and sleep quality using 24-hour heart rate variability measurement.

Exercise-Induced Asthma Test
This test provokes respiratory symptoms through exertion on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. Following the provocation test, lung function is measured using a standardized protocol to detect any exercise-induced bronchial constriction.

Body Plethysmography
In addition to the parameters of a standard lung function test, this examination measures the amount of air remaining in the lungs after complete exhalation. It also determines airway resistance and includes measurements to assess gas exchange in the lungs.

Lung Function Test (Spirometry)
Spirometry is a baseline test for assessing lung function. It measures the maximum amount of air exhaled, the volume exhaled within the first second, and the maximum airflow during inhalation and exhalation.

Methacholine Test
The patient inhales a defined amount of a stimulant that, in cases of bronchial hypersensitivity, causes airway constriction. This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of bronchial asthma.

Additional Assessments
Evaluation of injuries and conditions (e.g., unexplained performance decline or fatigue due to overtraining) as well as disorders affecting the lungs, heart, and muscles.

Exercise ECG
During an exercise ECG, the heart’s electrical activity is recorded under gradually increasing load on a cycle ergometer, while blood pressure is measured at each stage. On request, lactate (lactic acid) can also be measured during this protocol to complement individual training advice.

Body Composition (Body Fat Measurement)
Body composition analysis is an essential part of holistic nutrition and health counseling. Weight alone only tells half the story – what really matters is knowing the exact ratio of fat to muscle mass in the body.

Running & Gait Analysis
These assessments help identify various causes of overuse injuries. With appropriate footwear adjustments and/or orthopedic insoles, such issues can be minimized.

Resting ECG
By attaching suction electrodes to the chest, the heart’s electrical activity is recorded. The curves can reveal potential heart diseases.

Seven-Site Skinfold Measurement
With a special caliper, skinfold thickness is measured at seven defined points on the body. Based on gender, age, weight, and the sum of the folds, body fat and muscle mass are calculated. This is a precise and well-reproducible method widely used in competitive sports.

Additional Examinations
General sports medical examination including consultation as well as blood and urine analyses (sports lab).
