A New Era in Heart Endurance Measurement: How Seismofit is Revolutionizing VO2 Max Testing
It’s no secret how important physical activity is for cardiovascular health. However, in the past, accurately measuring the effectiveness of physical exercise required clinical tests that could only be performed in specialized settings.
One of the most precise indicators of heart fitness is VO2 max.
What is VO2 max? It’s a parameter that shows the maximum oxygen consumption during intense physical exercise. VO2 max reflects how efficiently the body uses oxygen and is a key indicator of overall physical endurance and cardiovascular health. A higher VO2 max is associated with greater longevity and a reduced risk of various diseases, such as heart failure and diabetes.
In the past, VO2 max could only be measured during cardiological tests on a treadmill or ergometer in a clinical environment. This process required maximum physical effort from the patient and was only available in specialized medical facilities.
Today, thanks to the innovative technology developed by the Danish company VentriJect and their product Seismofit, measuring VO2 max has become much easier and more accessible, without the need for complicated equipment or intense physical effort.
Benefits of Seismofit:
- No physical exertion required — the test is conducted at rest.
- Takes only 3 minutes to complete.
- Clinically validated accuracy.
Applications of Seismofit:
- Development of personalized training programs.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of physical training.
- Identifying potential health risks.
- Optimizing a patient’s lifestyle based on their cardiovascular health.
