Movement, a pillar of longevity.

First exercise consultation

A meeting with two exercise experts to assess the type of problem, your goals and the need for an in-depth assessment.

• Analysis of the main complaint (fatigue, pain, breathlessness, decline in performance)
• Assessment of current and past physical activity levels
• Medical and sporting history
• Identification of barriers to movement
• Definition of the examinations needed for a safe assessment

Musculoskeletal assessment

A comprehensive analysis of musculoskeletal function and movement quality.

• Posture, joint mobility and flexibility
• Muscle strength and motor coordination
• Detection of imbalances and injury risk factors
• Adaptation of the programme to actual capabilities

Multi-frequency bioimpedance

A precise measurement of body composition, ideally carried out while fasting, going well beyond weight alone.

• Lean mass (muscle) and fat mass
• Segmental distribution and body hydration
• Objective monitoring of the effects of reconditioning
• Adaptation of nutrition and physical activity

Cardio-respiratory exercise test with VO₂max

The gold-standard examination for analysing how the heart, lungs and muscles work together during exercise. VO₂max is now recognised as one of the best indicators of overall health.

• VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds VT1 and VT2
• Maximal aerobic power (MAP) and speed (MAS)
• Ventilatory, cardio-circulatory or muscular limitations
• Continuous monitoring: breathing, HR, blood pressure, perceived exertion

Resting and exercise metabolic assessment (LIPOXmax)

An in-depth analysis of metabolic function at rest and during exercise. It identifies the crossover point between fat and carbohydrate burning.

• Measurement of basal metabolism by indirect calorimetry (30 min, fasting)
• Exercise test with respiratory gas analysis (±45 min)
• LIPOXmax: maximal fat oxidation capacity
• Consultation with a specialist doctor

Why?

• Precisely tailor the intensity of physical activity
• Optimise nutrition and promote fat loss
• Improve metabolic efficiency

Personalised reconditioning programme

Based on all the results, an individualised programme is built jointly by the doctor and the physiotherapist.

• Tailored to the medical or sporting context
• Based on actual ventilatory thresholds
• Progressive, realistic and easy to fit into daily life
• Improvement in endurance, strength and recovery
