Performance check-up
Performance check-up in Munich
A performance check-up considers your health, current capacity and sporting goal together. Appropriate investigations depend on training volume, symptoms, existing conditions and the specific question, rather than a fixed package of tests.

Your individual question
A check-up starts with why you want one.
Someone returning to exercise after a break needs a different assessment from an ambitious endurance athlete preparing for the next season. Recurrent symptoms, unusual fatigue or a performance plateau also influence which investigations are appropriate.
After your appointment
Measurements become valuable through their consequences.
A useful result is more than a collection of numbers. It identifies reassuring findings, areas that need attention, and the few changes to training, recovery or further medical assessment that deserve priority.
A meaningful selection
Measure what can improve a decision.
For a performance check-up, the choice of investigations depends on your history, current training, symptoms and personal goal. More data are not automatically better; what matters is whether a result is understandable, reliable and useful in practice.
Measurements are therefore not assessed in isolation. Progress over time, day-to-day condition, training phase, medications and methodological limitations all need to be considered before a recommendation is made.
Your result
Turn information into an actionable next step.
At the end, it should be clear which questions have been answered reliably, what uncertainty remains and what follows from that. The next step may be an adjustment to training, further investigations, targeted treatment or, initially, monitored observation.
A good plan can be reviewed: goals, a timeframe and criteria for progress are defined in advance. This ensures that an examination or consultation is connected to what happens next.
Common questions
Answers to common questions.
Who may benefit from a performance check-up?
Active people with a specific performance, return-to-exercise or physical-capacity goal. The scope and focus should match age, sport, training level and medical history.
Is every check-up the same?
No. A meaningful selection is based on the individual question. Current services and their scope are explained on the relevant program page.
