Medical assessment to understand how your body responds to effort: maximal VO₂, ventilatory thresholds, training zones and cardiovascular safety — with Dr. Guilherme Corradi, sports medicine physician (RQE 62929), in Pinheiros.
The performance assessment brings together medical tests that measure cardiorespiratory capacity, safety and body composition. Each test has a specific purpose and is interpreted in consultation, individually.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) measures oxygen consumption during exercise to estimate maximal VO₂ and identify ventilatory thresholds. It helps understand current aerobic capacity and guide training zones based on data, rather than on generic estimates.
The exercise stress test follows the behavior of the heart, blood pressure and electrocardiogram during progressive exercise. It helps assess the cardiovascular response to effort and supports medical decisions about the safety of training at higher intensity.
Body composition assessment, with bioimpedance, estimates the distribution between lean mass, fat and body water. It helps put physical condition in context beyond the number on the scale and track changes over time within an individualized medical strategy.
The assessment considers injury history, current complaints and the context of your sport to support a progressive, guided return. It helps organize the resumption of activities with medical judgment, respecting each person's pace and characteristics.
The performance assessment is intended for those who want to train with more method, safety and medical guidance, from the conscious beginner to the experienced amateur athlete.
Reading the data helps align training, recovery and expectations with your body's real condition, always within the scope of Sports Medicine.
From road races to long distances, to train with measured zones and thresholds.
To distribute effort across disciplines based on real aerobic capacity.
Those who train regularly and want to progress with method and cardiovascular safety.
For those who took time off and want to return in a progressive, guided way.
Those who want to improve their performance with the support of a sports medicine physician, integrating assessment, training and recovery.

Educational answers to understand the tests before scheduling.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, also called CPET, is an exam that measures gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) during progressive exercise. With this data it is possible to estimate maximal VO₂ and identify ventilatory thresholds, helping to understand the cardiorespiratory capacity of the person taking the test.
Maximal VO₂ is a measure of aerobic capacity, that is, of how much the body can take up and use oxygen during effort. It serves as a reference to interpret current conditioning and to guide training zones individually, within a medical assessment.
No. The performance assessment is intended for runners, triathletes and committed practitioners, but also for those resuming training after a break or who want to start with more safety and guidance. What defines the appropriate tests is your condition and your goal, evaluated in consultation.
The assessment is carried out with Dr. Guilherme Corradi, sports medicine physician, at Corradi Medical, in Pinheiros, São Paulo. Scheduling can be done by starting the anamnesis on the website or by talking to the team on WhatsApp.
Stress tests are conducted in a suitable environment and with professional supervision. The indication, the way they are performed and the precautions are defined individually in a medical consultation, considering each person's history and condition. This page is educational and does not replace that in-person assessment.
