Ergometry (Fitness) Test

Ergometry is the study of physical work activity through medical tests, which is practiced by many high-competition athletes to determine the physiological parameters that allow them to improve their performance.

Simply put, it’s a test to determine the athlete's physical state so that they can plan their training better. It consists of an electrocardiogram and gas analysis, including the VO2 analysis, or the analysis determining the maximum volume of oxygen an athlete can use. This data is important in planning the training loads according to resistance and speed. The test also includes an analysis of the heart, the lungs,  and the body’s general response to maximum output. Additionally, the test determines the athlete’s anaerobic threshold,  which is fundamental in obtaining the maximum performance during our training.
