Objective exercise testing in modern physiotherapy

At Frix Fysio & Performance, exercise physiology is an integral part of everyday clinical practice. By combining physiotherapy with objective exercise testing, the team uses measurable data to support personalised rehabilitation, performance improvement and preventive care.

Using the Lode Valiant Sport and Excalibur Sport, FRIX integrates exercise testing directly into its multidisciplinary sports laboratory.

Working together and having fun together! 🌊

Recently, it was time for another Lode team outing. A group of colleagues went waterskiing and wakeboarding at Break Out Grunopark, followed by some food and drinks together.

At Lode, we believe that besides working together, it is also important to make time for fun and to enjoy each other’s company. A chance to meet in a different setting, challenge each other on the water and, most importantly, share plenty of laughs.

A great evening with a great team!

A valuable visit to our French distributor Duomed

Over the past few days, our colleagues Bibi Wemmenhove and Jan Willem made a short visit to Bordeaux, where they were welcomed by our French distributor Duomed.

During a two-day event that brought together more than 130 colleagues from Duomed’s different Business Units, Bibi and Jan Willem provided training sessions and presentations about our solutions to the Cardiology & Pulmonology team.

A great opportunity to share knowledge, exchange experiences and further strengthen our collaboration with the Duomed sales team.

Thank you to the Duomed team for the warm welcome and valuable visit. We look forward to continuing our collaboration!

📑 Exercise cardiac MRI: new reference standards by age and s*x

A 2025 research article demonstrates how exercise-based cardiac MRI can enhance diagnostic sensitivity compared to pharmacological stress, without the need for drugs when exercise is feasible. This research was conducted with the Lode MR Ergometer.

𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚
The study confirms that this approach can be implemented using commercially available equipment and standard vendor sequences, integrated into contrast-enhanced MRI protocols for comprehensive cardiac assessment.

𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒂
Age- and s*x-specific reference ranges improve interpretation of exercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), enabling clearer differentiation between physiological and pathological responses.

𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕
Exercise CMR represents a clinically relevant and non-pharmacologic addition to cardiovascular diagnostics, supported by precise and artefact-free exercise within the MRI environment.

Empowering patients through personalised rehabilitation

At Tergooi MC, connected technology helps patients take a more active role in their recovery.

By integrating Lode Rehab ergometers into a connected rehabilitation environment, therapists can create personalised exercise programmes, monitor progress and adjust training to individual performance — while patients gain greater independence throughout their rehabilitation journey.

Discover how Tergooi MC combines accurate ergometry, personalised care and connected technology.

Advancing exercise physiology research with the Lode Excalibur Sport

Understanding why people experience shortness of breath during exercise is essential for improving diagnostics and treatment.

At the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp), Associate Professor Bruno Silva is using the Lode Excalibur Sport to investigate the neurophysiological mechanisms behind exercise-induced dyspnea. The study requires rapid and highly accurate workload adjustments—exactly where the Excalibur Sport excels.

"We chose this ergometer because of its precision, reliability and compatibility with our metabolic analyzer." – Bruno Silva

We are proud to support researchers around the world with equipment that delivers the precision and reliability needed for demanding scientific research.
