ALTIS Medical Fitness Test

The ALTIS endurance/fitness test is unique throughout Europe due to its wide scope of performance indicators. Not only are the heart and cardiovascular system, the muscular system and the lungs placed on the testing block but also the psychological well-being, the diet and ability to resist stress are tested.
 

First Consulting Session

In the first consulting session the test subject receives an applicable test protocol. Goals and expectations are specified and the upcoming training programme will be shortly analysed.
 

Database

In order to be able to carry out the control tests, a base database for the test subject will be created.
 

Case history

The test subject will fill out an approximately 10-page survey in order to determine the physical, athletic and also the mental well-being.
 

Diagnostics

All of the relevant preliminary examinations needed for the test such as heart ultrasound, ECG/EKG at rest, determination of blood parameters (small laboratory sample), pulmonary function test and a body-weight-index measurement will be carried out before the endurance diagnostic test.
 

Endurance Test

The test subject can determine him/herself the type of the measurement ergometer (stationary device), i.e., the device on which the test should be carried out. Options include a stationary bicycle, the treadmill, the UKK walk test or depending on special requirements, the stationary hand cycle.
 

Lactate Test

Lactate concentration levels will be determined during the performance test via a blood sample taken from the ear lobe. Here the relevant thresholds (aerobic and anaerobic thresholds) are determined during the training.
 

Spiroergometry

During the endurance test the respiratory gases are continuously analysed in order to determine more precise findings about your physical fitness. The test subject breathes into a measurement system that analyses the respiratory minute volume as well as the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels of inhaled and exhaled air.
 

Evaluation

In the course of an extensive follow-up consultation, you will be provided with the following points:

  • Personal endurance and fitness profile
  • Heart frequency, lactate and ventilation curves including respiratory parameters, and determining training levels and threshold values (these are monitored and controlled with the heart frequency, lactate or endurance [watt] and/or speed [km/h or m/s])
  • Sport medical parameters (EKG, respiratory function, heart ultrasound, blood work)
  • General personality profile
  • Extensive training consultations. During the training consultation, test results will be discussed; training targets/plans will be established as well as improvement suggestions will be given. The test subject's goals (healthy sports, weight reduction, marathon preparation, endurance sports) will be primarily addressed in this session. The results gathered from these top (professional) sports can be used as well for non-professional hobby sports activities.
  • Nutritional consulting
     

Upon demand, our specially trained dieticians can analyse your dietary/nutritional habits and provide solutions to your problems.
