Adults’ health examination

A health examination for the purposes of sport and exercise medicine gives an overview of your health and performance capability. Health examinations are meant for professional athletes, amateur athletes and those who only intend to start doing sports. If you do sports or work out, we recommend you undergo a health examination for the purposes of sport and exercise medicine once a year.

The primary objective of the health examination is to find out whether there are any contraindications and/or limitations to doing sports. The examination helps identify health risks that can cause injuries, illnesses or sudden death in the future.

The health examination for the purposes of sport and exercise medicine comprises the following:

• a questionnaire for general information and details about one’s health and athletic activities so far;
• examination of the condition of various organ systems;
• a blood test, anthropometric measurements, resting ECG and spirometry;
• an exercise test on a stationary exercise bicycle ergometer, treadmill or rowing machine ergometer;
• an ECG while exercising in order to monitor cardiovascular adaptation to exercise load;
• evaluation of recovery processes;
• determination of maximum oxygen consumption as well as anaerobic and aerobic threshold levels;
• advice on exercise load and workout intensity;
• assistance in choosing the right rest routine, dietary pattern and hydration pattern.

The overview and results of the health examination can help you or your trainer in devising a personal training plan.

Before coming to the health examination appointment, please look at the available health examination packages and choose the one you consider suitable. A referral for the health examination is not necessary.
