Mantra

Sport is humankind's conquest of movement. A dance between gravity and will, biology and determination, instinct and consciousness.

Rigor

We measure, we don't estimate

  • 97%

    Muscle-mass accuracy, validated against whole-body MRI.

    SECA mBCA 554

  • 98%

    Fat-mass accuracy, against a four-compartment model.

    SECA mBCA 554

  • 24s

    Direct segmental measurement across eight contact points.

    SECA mBCA 554

  • ~20%

    How far a theoretical formula for caloric expenditure can miss. That is why we measure it by indirect calorimetry.

Method

What a VO2max test looks like

  1. 01

    First: the heart

    Resting ECG, cardiac and pulmonary auscultation, and blood pressure. Nobody steps on the treadmill without it.

  2. 02

    The test

    Progressive effort on a treadmill or bike with a face mask, measuring oxygen uptake and ventilatory parameters with continuous heart-rate monitoring.

  3. 03

    What you leave knowing

    Your VO2max, your ventilatory thresholds and your training zones — from your own values, not an age-based table.

  4. 04

    Who reads it

    A sports medicine specialist, alongside a trainer. The ECG is read using athlete-adjusted criteria.

  5. 05

    Duration

    Two hours. From age 16; between 12 and 16 it is discussed with the physicians first.

The backing

Rigor is not inherited by accident: we were born inside a clinical laboratory.

Our facility sits inside Laboratorio Clínico Hematológico. The medical team reading your results is the one behind a working clinical laboratory.
