Not only top athletes need a well-grounded training schedule. Also as a recreational athlete, a tailor-made schedule makes it easier and more efficient to achieve your goal. With this walk test, we're mapping your condition.

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 gevalideerde sportmedische vragenlijst (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 sportmedisch onderzoek (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 a red light.

 

Based on the intake conversation, we will bring your sporting history into the picture. Past performance, injuries, objectives and available training time are discussed. All this to get the most complete picture of your goals and expectations before the test begins.

The condition test consists of a constructive effort on the treadmill. Measure and analyze various parameters during the test. Heart rate and lactic acid values allow us to measure your condition and determine your optimal training zones. At the end of the test, the cooling down follows and you can enjoy a refreshing shower.

 

For biomechanical walk analysis, we use RunEasi, a new technology to ANALysE your walking movements in an efficient and scientifically-based way. This technology was recently developed at the KU Leuven. On the basis of the analysis, your strengths and weaknesses are determined; as well as the (if any) left/right assymetry is mapped. How do you move? And how can you prevent injuries by adjusting your walking position? Our coaches provide you with tailor-made exercises to work at home on your weaker points.

The quality of your basic condition and intensive endurance, your resistance and past training activities determine which types of training are most suitable for you. Your strengths and weaknesses are evaluated against your reference group and then translated into practice.

Golazo Energy works exclusively with qualified sports scientists with extensive experience in sports practice to ensure an up-to-date scientific and quality analysis.


 

After an invigorating shower, the time is taken to discuss 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 fully ready to achieve your sporting goals!
