Ergometric Testing
Ergometric Testing with assessment of cardiorespiratory function and measurement of basal metabolism.
Ergometric testing is essential for assessing the cardiorespiratory function of athletes. It helps evaluate physical fitness and performance while aiding in injury prevention.
Purpose of the audit
- Endurance Evaluation: Learn about your body’s ability to utilize oxygen during exercise (VO2 max).
- Training Program Adjustment: Improve your performance based on the results of the test evaluation.
- Cardiopulmonary Response Assessment: Understand the impact of exercise on your heart and lungs.
Measurement of basal metabolism
Measuring your basal metabolic rate (BM) is critical to understanding your energy profile. It helps in assessing caloric needs and managing body weight.
What is Basal Metabolism?
Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy required by the body at rest to maintain vital functions such as breathing, blood circulation and thermoregulation.
Purpose of the Measurement
Determine Caloric Needs: For weight loss, maintenance, or gain.
- Diet Adjustment: Optimize your nutritional strategy.
- Metabolic Disorder Assessment: Identify potential abnormalities.
