OPTIONS

A DEXA scan determines your body composition. You will gain insight into your bone density, weight, fat percentage and lean mass of the total body per region.

For the VO2 max, we determine during the test how much oxygen you can maximally absorb. This VO2 Max is expressed in an absolute and relative score (per kg body weight) and is the best indicator for measuring your cardiovascular fitness.

What can you expect?

Prior to your condition test, you must complete a validated sports medical questionnaire and take the result with you. Depending on the result (green, orange or red), a recommendation is given to conduct a sports medical examination.


- Green light: There's no need for a sports medical examination, your condition test can continue

- Orange light: A sports medical examination is recommended
- Red light: A sports medical examination is required before the condition test can continue, this can be done by one of the sports doctors affiliated with SKA or via Golazo Energy

Attention: If you have not yet completed the questionnaire at the time of your condition test, you can fill it in on the spot but your condition test will NOT be possible with red light.

Using the intake interview as a foundation, we get a good picture of your sporting history. Past performance, injuries, goals and available training time are discussed here. All information will be used to get a complete picture of your objectives and expectations before the test starts.

The condition test consists of a constructive effort on your own bicycle or on the bicycle sergometer. Time-wise test we measure and analyze various parameters. Heart rate and lactic acid values allow us to temet your condition and determine your optimal training zones. After the test, the cooling down follows and you can enjoy a refreshing shower.

The quality of your basic fitness and intensive endurance, your resistance capacity, and past training activities determine which training forms are most suitable for you. Your strengths and weaknesses are evaluated in comparison to your reference group and then translated into practice. Golazo Energy exclusively collaborates with certified sports scientists with extensive experience in sports practice to ensure an up-to-date scientific and high-quality analysis.


After an invigorating shower, the time is taken to review the test report and the training advice together. You will receive a detailed and customized 12-week training schedule that takes into account your objective and time available. You are now ready to achieve your sporting goals !
