The Medicine of physical education and sports is a specialty that studies the effects of physical activity on the human body, working on the prevention, treatment and control of pathologies associated with sports and integrates other medical specialties.

The purpose is an individualized “physical activity prescription” and herefor it uses the “sports-medical assessment” as a tool.

These are the services we can offer within the sports medicine specialty:

• TYPE 2 EXAM

  This is a better functional assessment of how the cardiovascular system behaves when subjected to stress. It is the same assessment as the type 1 exam, adding a stress test or ergometry that can be:

  Submaximal (when 80&percent; of the athlete's physical capacity is reached)

  Maximum (when trying to reach 100&percent; of the athlete's physical capacity)

  It consists of monitoring the athlete and recording their cardiovascular activity while making a controlled and progressive effort. It is used to rule out heart problems during the test, but it also serves as a guide for the athlete to adapt their training guidelines and achieve maximum effectiveness with the least risk to their health.
