Contraindications to exercise tests

Exercise tests cannot be performed during illnesses, so it is important that you are well when you come for your exercise test. In case of an acute illness, at least two weeks must pass before the exercise test after you recover.

The exercise test must be postponed in case of the following contraindications:

• Acute illness (fever, viruses and infections, coughing, rhinitis);
• Acute episode of a chronic disease;
• Severe cardiovascular diseases;
• High blood pressure;
• Pronounced anaemia;
• Injuries.
