Examination before starting sports
What should be examined before engaging in sports?
Which examinations may be medically sensible before embarking on serious sports — from medical history to ECG to Spiroergometry.
Knowledge
Before sports, clarity counts, not speed.
Anyone who seriously wants to start with sports should know whether heart, circulation, and endurance match the endeavor. A medical evaluation is especially advisable if you have paused for a long time, have symptoms, are aware of family risks, or wish to train intensively.
Typical components
Rest and Exercise ECG
Response at rest and under exertion.
Echocardiography
Pump function and heart valves, when appropriate.
Spiroergometry
When precise interest in performance capability exists.
