Whether to choose a ‘stand-alone’ VO2max Test or combine it with a sports physical exam depends on what you need, on the health problems you want examined, or on whether or not you want to claim the costs on your supplementary health insurance.

Overview of the different test options
The table below shows the components and prices of the various Tests.
We carry out the exercise tests and sports medical exams with VO2max and Lactate measurement as standard. If you only want a health check, without training information, heart rate zones and VO2max measurement, make an appointment without the exercise physiologist at SMA Olympia.
