Full Ergometric - For Athletes Only

The full ergometric package is a specialized service priced at €100, intended exclusively for athletes aged 13 and above. It is designed for individuals involved in individual or team sports who want to undergo a complete high-level ergometric assessment.

Through this package, the athlete receives a detailed analysis of their physical condition. The assessment includes power measurements, endurance testing, and body composition analysis. Special emphasis is placed on isokinetic evaluation, the assessment of jumping and explosive ability, as well as flexibility.

Upon completion of the full ergometric assessment, the athlete and their coach have in their hands all the necessary data to improve performance and prevent injuries. It is an essential tool for every young and professional athlete who wants to develop their abilities with scientific accuracy.

Includes:

1. Health Screening – Anthropometric Assessment

Body fat %, Body fat kg, Fat-free mass, Muscle mass, Total body water, Extracellular fluid, Intracellular fluid, Body mass index, Bone mass, Body classification, Visceral fat, ECW/TBW ratio, Basal metabolic rate, Phase Angle, Basal Metabolic Rate indicator, Metabolic age, Body fat distribution, Muscle mass balance, Lower limb muscle performance, Segmental analysis for each lower and upper limb and trunk: Fat percentage and evaluation, Muscle mass in kg and evaluation, Reactance/resistance and phase angle, desirable normal ranges.

2. Isokinetic Evaluation of the Lower Limbs

Isokinetic testing with the help of isokinetic systems is a popular method of muscle assessment. Isokinetic exercise, performed at a joint within a defined range of motion and at a constant angular velocity throughout the full range, is widely used in the evaluation of physical performance and injuries.

3. Cardiopulmonary Assessment

• Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max): VO2max is synonymous with endurance. A high VO2max value is also an indication of good health.
• Speed (km/h) or Power Output (watt/kg) at VO2max: This is the maximum speed or maximum produced power corresponding to VO2max. It is one of the most practical indicators of the athlete’s aerobic adaptations.
• Anaerobic Threshold: The anaerobic threshold is an important indicator of aerobic endurance. The higher this workload is, and the longer it can be maintained during exercise, the fitter the athlete is.
• Energy (Running) Economy (EE): It is defined as oxygen uptake (mL/kg/min) during a submaximal muscular effort. By learning EE at each speed, we essentially learn the exercise intensity that should be used in training, both continuous and interval, thus improving training quality, safety, and efficiency.
• Pulmonary Ventilation (Vmax): This refers to the flow of air volume in and out of the lungs. Although there are no absolute reference values, values below 70–60 L/min during maximal effort, depending on gender, body measurements, and type of exercise, may indicate a respiratory limitation.
• Maximum Heart Rate: Knowing this value helps us prescribe and monitor exercise properly.
• Calorimetry and Carbohydrate Consumption: From oxygen consumption measurements, we can calculate the calories burned at each exercise workload. In addition, the quantitative and relative consumption of carbohydrates and fats is calculated, providing important information about energy economy. This also leads to safe conclusions regarding the amount of carbohydrates that should be consumed during efforts lasting more than one hour, such as marathons, cycling brevets, sailing races, etc. We can also measure resting metabolic rate.

4. Plantar Gait Analysis (Plantar Pressure Analysis)

Static & dynamic measurement, balance, plantar pressure, comparison between both feet, support surface mapping, heel position, arch loading, deviations of angles/distances from the axis, and two- and three-dimensional imaging.

5. Flexibility Testing & Posture Assessment

This assessment reveals problems in the length of key body muscles, factors that may lead to recurrent injuries.

6. Running Economy Analysis with Digital Assessment

Running economy is typically defined as the energy demand for a given submaximal running speed, and is determined by measuring steady-state oxygen consumption and respiratory gas exchange ratio.

7. Specialized Nutrition Program

Along with the results, a weekly personalized program is provided after an interview with the nutritionist (Eirini Babaroutsi, PhD Clinical Dietitian, Sports Nutritionist).

8. Lower Limb Strength Assessment

Lower limb strength, right & left leg strength ratio, explosive & elastic power, 30-second speed-strength evaluation, reaction time to visual and auditory stimuli.

9. Psychomotor Skills Assessment

The athlete is assessed through a questionnaire as well as a personal interview, and receives a report from the center’s sports psychologist, ”Efrosyni Patsou (B.Sc, M.Sc)”, with complete informational material regarding their sports psychological profile.

10. Personalized Nutrition Plan

Along with the results, a personal file is provided to the athlete with their nutrition plan, after communication with the nutritionist “Eirini Babaroutsi, Ph.D”.
