Application areas
Which application area fits your work?
-
In medicine
CPET objectively assesses ventilatory and cardiocirculatory performance capacity during exercise, often combined with ECG monitoring. The breath gas pattern attributes exercise intolerance to the limiting system and supports the confirmation of a suspected diagnosis.
-
In sports
Parameters such as maximum oxygen uptake and the ventilatory thresholds objectively quantify performance capacity. Intensity zones are derived from the measured thresholds instead of being estimated with formulas.
-
Metabolism & energy expenditure
Instead of estimating energy consumption, CPET measures energy expenditure and breaks substrate utilization down into carbohydrates and fats. From this, the exercise intensity with the highest share of fat in energy expenditure can be determined.
Medical
- Cardiology Attribute unclear exertional symptoms to the limiting system and document treatment success over time.
- Pulmonology Clarify whether breathing truly limits exercise and document treatment success over time.
- Sports Medicine Examine patients and healthy individuals with the same metabolic cart, from clinical workup to performance diagnostics.
- Preventive Medicine Assess cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and resting metabolic rate in healthy individuals, from baseline to follow-up over years.
- Rehabilitation Medicine Dose exercise load according to measured thresholds and document patients' progress.
- Occupational Medicine Measure fitness for duty instead of estimating it, and document decisions with evidence.
- Pediatrics Benchmark children's exercise capacity against reference values and follow their development over years.
- Clinical Research Measure the effect of interventions on objective endpoints and reveal the mechanism behind it.
Performance
