I am a partner in a 2-physician sports medicine and non-surgical orthopedics practice. (I am also a D-I university team physician and a team physician for the US Figure Skating Association.)
We have many high-level runners, cyclists, and triathletes in our practice and in the community, and we would like to begin offering metabolic testing (VO2 max, lactate threshold, etc.) in our office. I would like suggestions for a treadmill, cycle ergometer, and metabolic cart. Being in private practice, cost is a factor, of course, but I don't want to "cheap out." I've seen postings for the Velotron ergometer, and it seems like the way to go. Can these be interfaced with a metabolic cart? Also, is it better to use the Dynafit Pro or Elite, or to get the Basic, to which a cyclist can attach his/her own bike frame? For a treadmill, we need one with a low motor housing profile to allow for easier live gait analysis. Any suggestions? Finally, what are some suggestions for a metabolic cart? Again, we are not an ex phys lab. We will be doing commercial testing for patients, and ease of use, cost, and reliable are important. Thanks!
