Metabolic testing
Metabolic testing is a standard component of professional athlete assessments. We also offer it to young athletes who have completed the basic medical check-up and:
- Show performance stagnation
- Need to determine the cause of inadequate training response
Metabolic testing includes:
- Body composition analysis – fat, muscle, water, joint changes, and overload risk areas
- Spiroergometric testing (VO₂ max) – assessing oxygen processing capacity under stress
- Muscle blood supply assessment during exertion – optional use of Doppler ultrasound to visualize blood flow in specific areas
- Blood and urine testing – including advanced tests for hematology, clotting, and genetic predispositions if needed
- Lifestyle and nutrition assessment – including analysis of hydration, carbohydrates, minerals, and other nutrients, tailored to training and game loads. The goal is to actively prevent RED-S.
