Athletic and fitness testing

Sports testing at a high level

Arcada has a modern and high-quality fitness testing station near the centre of Helsinki. There is a wide range of tests available, and the individual tests can be customised to the customer’s needs. The tests are performed under experts’ supervision.

The test selection includes endurance testing on a treadmill or with a bicycle ergometer, muscular fitness tests, body composition measurements and explosive strength tests.

The customer will receive personal, detailed feedback for each test, including the reference values.

Endurance tests

An endurance test can be made either with a bicycle ergometer or on a treadmill.

The test packages are built according to the athlete’s needs. The test is carried out in the Arcadahallen unless otherwise mentioned.

Make a reservation!

Please note! For the moment it is unfortunately not possible to schedule any fitness testing due to lack of resources. All available times are reserved at least until the beginning of 2025.
