CIRCAMOVE
Movement , a pillar of longevity.A fitness-to-exercise assessment: VO₂max test, exercise ECG, body composition assessment and personalised support to resume or intensify physical activity safely.
Who is it for?
Safely resuming physical activity
Unexplained fatigue, breathlessness or pain on exertion
Chronic conditions (excess weight, diabetes, cardio-respiratory)
Athletes wishing to optimise performance or structure their training
Assessment of cardiovascular risk on exertion
The examinations
A progressive and coherent assessment
The assessment is based on a progressive analysis of your ability to move, to exert yourself and to recover, leading to an individualised programme.
First exercise consultation
Consultation · Doctor + Physiotherapist
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
Functional assessment · Physiotherapist (30 min)
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
Body composition · Fasting
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
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing · Gold-standard examination
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)
Metabolism · ±1h30
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
Support · Doctor + Physiotherapist
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
