Fitness-check

With sports medical examinations, you can determine your athletic performance.

Whether you are a recreational or amateur athlete, a beginner, or an enthusiast: Sports keep your body and cardiovascular system fit. The ideal basis is the sports medical examination known as the Fitness-Check. It shows you how fit you are and supports you with helpful and individual training tips. You can take the Fitness-Check every 24 months.

    How the fitness-check works:

    The Fitness-Check consists of three progressive sports medical examinations:

  • Basic examination: Based on a sports medical questionnaire, the sports physician conducts a thorough medical history assessment. In a detailed consultation, you will receive individual training recommendations tailored specifically to your health.
  • Extended examination: Based on the basic examination, your current fitness level is determined. This includes a comprehensive stress test with both resting and exertion ECGs, a blood test (laboratory examination), training tips, and a certificate of fitness for sports.
  • Lactate performance diagnostics or lung function test: Based on the extended examination, you can choose to undergo either lactate performance diagnostics or a lung function test. One of these two examinations will be reimbursed partially.
  • Lactate measurement: The sports physician shows you your optimal training intensity and heart rate. This involves taking a blood sample from your earlobe to measure lactate levels. You will receive valuable information on your current personal performance capacity.

    Lung function test (spirometry): This test provides information about lung volume and the breathing cycle. A special device is used for inhalation and exhalation to measure lung function parameters and airflow.

    Which costs are covered by sbk?

    We contribute 90% toward the costs of a Fitness-Check:

  • Basic examination: up to 65 €
  • Extended Fitness-Check (including the basic examination): up to 117 €
  • Performance diagnostics (lactate test or lung function test, including the basic and extended examination): up to 140 €
  • The Fitness-Check can only be taken once every 24 months.
  • Requirements for cost coverage

    Please note that only private invoices from participating sports physicians or sports medical facilities that are listed by the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention can be reimbursed. If you have any questions, your personal SBK consultant will be happy to advise you. Contact details can be found here.

    Reimbursement of invoices

    After the sports medical examination, you will receive an invoice from the sports medical practice or facility, which you will need to pay first. You can easily upload the invoice in the Meine SBK app. Alternatively, you can send the invoice by mail: Here you will find our address and a prepaid envelope. You will then be reimbursed the corresponding amount for the examination.
