In the laboratory:

The exploration of the cardio-respiratory function of elite athletes is performed by a device for direct measurements of the respiratory function using the "breath by breath" method which allows:
The evaluation of the volumetric and debimetric breathing.
The evaluation of the "VO2 max".
The evaluation of the maximal aerobic power.
The establishment of aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, the respiratory quotient, the respiratory equivalent,
The analysis of the electrocardiogram during submaximal efforts with the study of the maximum tolerated load and the cardiac recovery.


In the field:

A portable gas analysis apparatus allows cardioventilatory measurements.
The muscular power and speed can be measured with a "Bosco treadmill".
Photoelectric cells allow to measure sprint performance.
The speed of a projectile is assessed by a radar.
The number of steps or strides can be measured by a podometer.
