Assessment
From an isolated measurement to a meaningful overall question.
Testing is useful when it supports a specific decision: adjusting training, understanding symptoms, increasing exercise demands or assessing readiness to return to sport.
Performance check-up
Connect health, physical capacity and training goals.
Exercise performance testing
Investigate endurance capacity and exercise intensity.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Respiratory gases, oxygen uptake and ventilatory thresholds.
VO₂max
Understand maximal oxygen uptake and its limitations.
Training zones
Use measurements to define individual training intensity.
Strength testing
Measure capacity, asymmetry and rehabilitation progress.
3D running analysis
Assess running mechanics alongside symptoms and training.
Biomechanical assessment
Analyze forces, joint positions and relevant movements.
Return-to-sport testing
Combine recovery with functional readiness criteria.
Sports medical check-up
Consider health and risk factors before increasing exercise.
Athletes over 40
Develop strength, endurance and sustainable recovery.
The right service
Medical interpretation and an appropriate assessment.
This personal website explains medical relationships and the reasoning behind decisions. Specific diagnostic and performance services are considered according to their medical or sporting purpose. Questions about the appropriate starting point can be directed through the contact section.
Your starting point
Start with your own question, not a list of services.
Different needs call for different starting points: an initial assessment, an existing finding or a treatment decision. The next step should address the uncertainty that matters to you.
The individual pages are organized around medical questions and decision pathways. Symptoms, function, diagnostic findings and personal goals belong together when deciding what comes next.
Preparing your next step
Make the overview useful for your own situation.
Note your most important question, the course of your symptoms and the goal you would like to reach. A clear starting question is often more useful than a long, unstructured list of symptoms.
For personal advice, bring existing original scans and relevant reports. The consultation can then focus on the decision that remains open instead of unnecessarily repeating investigations.

Which performance or prevention question should the program answer?
Describe the goal and current training or health context. The inquiry can then be matched to the appropriate performance or prevention offer.
