Marko Bolović, water polo player of “Partizan” doing functional stress test at the SISSM

The player of the water polo club “Partizan” came to a sports medical checkup at the Serbian Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine

After the complete sports medical checkup (biochemical blood analysis, anthropometric measurements, ECG, ultrasound, general medical examination), Marko did ergospirometry test. With ergospirometry, i.e. functional stress test, what is checked is the reaction of the body to physical exertion and the ability of the body to be exposed to physical exertion. Anyone planning to undergo physical exertion should go through certain levels of health check. What follows is the exercise stress test which determines the level and degree of physical exertion each individual is capable of. After the test doctors determine whether a person is generally able to engage in sports and give advice on how an individual should be exposed to physical exertion.
