1
Measure your lung capacity for better performance
Understand how well your lungs are functioning to optimally adjust your training plans and improve both your endurance and overall performance.
2
Early detection of respiratory diseases
The test can enable the early detection of respiratory diseases such as asthma or COPD. Recognizing health risks early helps you to take targeted measures.
3
Reduce the risk of long-term breathing problems
By recognizing respiratory diseases at an early stage, you can counteract them in good time by taking the right measures.
Vital capacity (VC) / Forced vital capacity
The vital capacity (VC) corresponds to the maximum “movable” amount of air in the lungs and is the difference in volume between maximum inhalation and exhalation. The forced (expiratory) vital capacity (FVC) is the lung volume that can be exhaled at maximum speed (forced) after maximum inhalation.
One-second capacity (FEV1)
The FEV1 is the amount of air that can be exhaled within one second with forced or maximally accelerated expiration. Another value calculated using this is the relative one-second capacity, also known as FEV1/FVC, which describes the proportion of the total maximum expired air that can be exhaled in one second.
Peak expiratory flow (PEF)
The peak expiratory flow indicates the maximum speed of the air at which you can exhale. The measurement is taken directly after maximum inspiration or maximum inhalation. Like the FEV1 value, the PEF value is mainly influenced by the resistance in the airways.
Before the test begins, you will be given a mouthpiece that is connected to a spirometer. This will measure your breathing performance. Our staff will give you precise instructions and make sure that you are relaxed.
You breathe in and out deeply while blowing forcefully into the spirometer. This process is repeated several times to ensure an accurate measurement of lung capacity and respiratory function. The test is simple and only takes a few minutes.
After the test, the data is analyzed to determine your lung capacity and any abnormalities. You will then see a report in your app containing all the measured values and a detailed explanation of your results.
The Lung Function Test can only be performed in Zurich. You can book your test directly in the app. If you are a new customer, send us an email or give us a call.
