SPORTS MEDICINE
The Sports Medicine Service is a space aimed at professional athletes, coaches and amateurs of all ages. It offers a personalized evaluation of physical fitness and sports performance with different aerobic and anaerobic tests, according to the specific modality of the athlete: recreational, competitive and / or high performance.
BENEFITS OF PERSONALIZED FITNESS AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
Sports Medicine provides useful physiological indicators in training and sports activity to plan the intensity, frequency and duration of recreational or sports physical activity. This allows:
plan the type of load that avoids fatigue and possible sports injuries
plan the type of activity and intensity for an adequate metabolic expenditure in kilocalories, extremely useful for:
the athlete who wants to increase their performance by improving their body composition
people who are overweight or obese who want to improve their body weight
choose the most appropriate activity to control risk factors (such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) and prevent diseases.
WHAT IS THE PERSONALIZED ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE?
Service professionals assess physical fitness through a series of tests appropriate to the capacity of each person:
direct oxygen consumption tests (treadmill or bicycle): individual physiological adaptation responses are measured in maximal aerobic power to be able to program the intensity of training loads or competitive activity in endurance sports (ex: marathon , adventure racing, cycling).
The individual physiological variables of distance, speed, heart rate, time and intensity of the load recorded at the level of the ventilatory threshold and the maximum oxygen consumption reached are used.measurement of body composition (muscle mass, fat, bone and their relationships) and anthropometry: they allow planning a suitable diet and sports hydration; It is carried out by a nutritionist specialized in sports.
In addition, for those sports that require strength, power and muscular endurance conditions for training and competition in explosive sports (eg: tennis, paddle, soccer, squash, rugby, basketball, hockey), the above tests can be complemented with:
Alactic anaerobic power (ergojump): with jumping tests, explosive, elastic, reactive force, resistance capacity to force / speed and muscular mechanical power are measured.
Lactic anaerobic power: on a treadmill, bicycle or in training field, blood lactate and heart rate are measured.
These tests can be complemented with medical studies to know the general state of health, depending on the needs of the athlete or the team.
At the end of the tests, a final interview is carried out with a sports doctor and the nutritionist in which a report is delivered about the sports physical condition and capacity and guidelines for sports nutrition and hydration and the optimal physiological variables for good training performance are provided. and sports competition.SPORTS MEDICINE

ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL CAPACITY TO INITIATE OR IMPROVE TRAINING AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Physical exercise is one of the best ways to prevent disease and improve quality of life in many ways.
Before starting a program of physical activities, however, it is advisable to know the physical state to plan the type of activity and intensity that is most suitable for the body.
If a person performs physical activity at a higher intensity than appropriate, they may suffer dehydration or muscle fatigue but not burn fat. This has a negative influence on both the athlete who wants to improve their performance and the one who does recreational sports to improve their physical condition.
Sports Medicine provides the necessary tools to know the capacity of each person to carry out physical efforts and, in this way, to know what is the type of activity and intensity of training that will be beneficial for the body.
WHAT IS THE VENTILATORY THRESHOLD?
Also known as the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold, the ventilatory threshold is the maximum capacity for physical exertion in predominantly aerobic conditions. It expresses the conditions to carry out a prolonged resistance work with an economy of cardiorespiratory effort and muscle metabolism before the excessive accumulation of lactate in the blood and muscle fatigue.
This maximum aerobic speed limit allows you to calculate the time in the passes for the aerobic power training and in the kilometer for the competitions. It also allows simple control of the intensity of effort with the heart rate and metabolic expenditure in kilocalories by the coach and / or recreational or competitive athlete.
