Your fitness rating is one of the best single markers of your health - and you can have it measured in a few minutes, lying down and without breaking a sweat. NurseCare offers fitness tests (VO2 max) at the clinic in Copenhagen as an add-on to your health check or as a separate booking. Experienced healthcare professionals measure your VO2 max with a small sensor on your breastbone, and you get your result straight away.
Your fitness rating (VO2 max) measures your body's maximum oxygen uptake and, according to the American Heart Association, is potentially a stronger predictor of mortality than established risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. The Association even recommends measuring VO2 max regularly as a clinical vital sign. Add your fitness rating to your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and you get the most complete picture of your health.
The measurement itself takes only 45 seconds, and the whole test, including going through your result, about 10 minutes. No exercise, no change of clothes and no shower afterwards. By comparison, a classic exercise bike test takes around 30 minutes.
You lie down while we place a small electronic sensor on your breastbone. The sensor measures your heart's activity, and the method is scientifically documented to be just as accurate as the classic, time-consuming methods. That makes the fitness test suitable for everyone - not just those who are already in good shape.
You get your VO2 max value straight away, along with a chart showing where your fitness rating sits for your age and sex - from below average to elite level. A concrete starting point for improving your fitness and tracking your progress over time.
Add the fitness test when you book your 30 or 40-minute health check. It extends your visit by about 5 minutes - and together with blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, your fitness rating gives the most complete picture of your health.
Just want to know your fitness rating? Book the fitness test as a separate appointment at the clinic. You get your measurement, your chart and a short explanation of what the number means for you.
