The aim of the exercise testing is to assess the response of the cardiovascular system to an increase in physical activity. Based on this examination, our doctors will help you set the optimal load so that you can exercise safely while pushing your limits. Exercise testing such as ergometry and spiroergometry is suitable not only for active athletes, but also for those who are just starting in sports or returning to it after a long break.
Using ergometry, we find out how your heart and blood circulation cope with the load. It is most often used to rule out or confirm ischemic heart disease in reported chest pain, as well as to determine the maximum performance of the heart and blood circulation. The exercise test is performed controlling blood pressure and heart rate.
It is a performance testing supplemented by an evaluation of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide exhalation. Thanks to testing, we can more accurately determine the current state of fitness of the body and it is an essential indicator for the correct setting of a safe and effective training load, intensity and duration.
‘Thanks to modern equipment for exercise testing, we are able to assess the functional reserves of the cardiovascular system and eliminate the risk of sudden incidence in both professional and recreational athletes.’
