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:
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.

Reimbursement of invoices

You will then be reimbursed the corresponding amount for the examination.
