WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Sports medical Questionnaire
Prior to your condition test, you must complete a validated sports medical questionnaire and send the result to the doctor. Attention: If you have not yet completed the questionnaire at the time of your condition test, you can fill it in on the spot but this delays the whole process. Based on the results of this questionnaire combined with the sports medical examination (see below), a decision is made whether or not a maximal exercise test can be taken without additional examination.

Sports medical examination
Based on the intake conversation, we will bring your sporting history into the picture. Past performance, injuries, objectives and available training time are discussed. All this to get the most complete picture of your goals and expectations before the test begins.
Maximal effort test
The condition test consists of a constructive effort on the cycle ergometer or your own bike. During the test, we measure and analyze various parameters. Heart rate and lactic acid values allow us to measure your condition and determine your optimal training zones. At the end of the test, the cooling down follows and you can enjoy a refreshing shower.
Test discussion
The quality of your basic condition and intensive endurance, your resistance and past training activities determine which types of training are most suitable for you. Your strengths and weaknesses are evaluated and then translated into practice. BLITS works exclusively with qualified sports scientists to ensure an up-to-date scientific and quality analysis.
A personalized training schedule is not included.

- BOOKING OPTIONS
VO2 MAX (+35 euro)
For the VO2 max, we determine during the test how much oxygen you can maximally absorb. This VO2 Max is expressed in an absolute and relative score (per kg body weight) and is the best indicator for measuring your cardiovascular fitness.
Exercise ECG (+35 euro)
An exercise ECG is the recording of the electrical activity of the heart muscle during exercise. From this, you can get information about the functioning of the heart and any arrhythmias can be detected.
Student/staff VUB (-15%)
VUB students and staff enjoy a discount on a sports medical examination with exercise ECG.
Re-test within 1 year (-30%)
If you schedule another exercise test within 1 year of your previous one, you will receive a 30% discount. Offer only valid for 1 year after your previous exercise test at full price.
No test discussion (-20 euro)
A coach yourself? In-house expertise? A health check? A discussion of the test results is not relevant for everyone. That is why we offer the option to get your results without a discussion.
