Sport & Performance · Performance Diagnostics Palatinate
Do you train by feel or by data?
Most people train in the wrong range – and wonder why progress stalls. OMC measures what your body truly delivers under exertion: with cardiopulmonary exercise testing, lactate diagnostics, and exercise ECG – and translates the values into a plan that works.

The problem
Do you recognize any of these patterns?
Three situations almost every active person knows — and that are rarely solved at the root.
Training, but no progress
You run regularly and put in the effort — yet your pace and endurance stagnate. Often you're simply training in the wrong range: too fast for a base, too slow for a real stimulus.
Heart-rate zones from your wrist
our watch estimates your zones from age and average formulas. What's missing is individual measurement: where does your threshold actually lie — not that of a statistical average?
Recurring overload
Achilles tendon, knee, shin — the same spot again and again. The cause often lies in running mechanics, which stay invisible without analysis.
Generic training plans treat you like an average.
Ortho Motion Concept asks first:
What can your body actually do?
Measure first, then steer — with values that apply to you alone.
How your performance diagnostics work
Measure.
Understand. Steer.
Performance diagnostics are not an end in themselves. The measurement provides the numbers, the interpretation makes them usable, the plan turns them into training — all in one appointment, personally with Dr. Klein.
Our performance diagnostics
Three methods.
One complete picture.
From oxygen uptake through the metabolic threshold to the cardiovascular response — together they show how your body works under exertion.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
The most accurate method for measuring endurance performance and cardiopulmonary function under exertion — the gold standard of performance diagnostics.
-
Breath-gas analysis (VO₂max – your oxygen maximum)
-
Ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2)
-
Interpretation relative to the age norm
Ideal FOR
Endurance athletes, ambitious beginners, anyone with a concrete performance goal.
Lactate diagnostics
The step test shows what pace you should train at – and where overtraining begins. The basis of your personal zones.
-
Personal training ranges (HR zones)
-
Aerobic and anaerobic threshold
-
Directly transferable to your sports watch
Ideal FOR
Runners and cyclists who want to train in a structured way by zones.
Exercise ECG
The ECG under increasing exertion reveals what stays hidden at rest – the basis for safe training and physician-cleared exertion.
-
Cardiovascular response under load
-
Blood-pressure behavior during exertion
-
Safety before competition & return to sport
Ideal For
Anyone over 35, returning athletes, and everyone who wants to play it safe before intense training.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing & lactate are also included, ready-combined, in our check-up packages.
Optional add-on examination · separate appointment
AI running analysis
Running efficiency & injury prevention
A standalone, camera-based examination of your running mechanics. It makes faulty loading visible before it becomes an injury and shows where you lose energy – the basis for more economical, injury-free running.
Gait pattern & running mechanics in detail
Concrete guidance for training & technique
Detection of faulty and compensatory postures
A useful complement to performance diagnostics
Note for those with statutory health insurance
OMC is a purely private practice. As a self-pay patient you are welcome — you receive a transparent cost estimate in advance, so you know exactly what to expect.
Frankly speaking
Ortho Motion Concept isn’t the right fit for everyone.
Probably not, if …
✗
you don’t care how fast your conditioning progresses.
✗
an app estimate or an age-based formula is enough for your training zones.
✗
you’re only after a single number — without medical interpretation or a training recommendation.
✗
you train without a concrete training goal.
This is right for you if …
✓
you train with ambition and want to know where your thresholds truly lie.
✓
you trust reliable measured data rather than estimates from your wrist.
✓
you have a concrete goal — a competition, a comeback, a new personal best.
✓
you're looking for a physician who explains the values and translates them into a plan.
PATIENT VOICES
What our patients report
Two weeks before the European Championship, my knee was badly swollen. Dr. Klein treated me at short notice and with precision – so I was able to compete and present my kata with control and confidence. His expertise and empathy won me over.
Elke B., judoka
I had built up a lot of knowledge about nutrition and exercise – but I kept failing at putting it into practice day to day. With Dr. Klein’s medical guidance, I succeeded in losing weight and returning to sport for good.
Max H., managing director
After sudden shin pain, Dr. Klein gave me an accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy right away. Thanks to his expertise, I’m on my way back into training – excellently cared for, both medically and personally.

Your physician
Dr. med. Roman Klein
Specialist in Orthopedics & Trauma Surgery · Specialist in Internal Medicine
Two specialist worlds under one roof: as one of the few practices between Kaiserslautern and Mannheim, OMC combines Orthopedics/Trauma Surgery and Internal Medicine — because the musculoskeletal system and internal health have to be considered together. No passing you along, no time pressure: every diagnostic workup is carried out personally by Dr. Klein and discussed with you — with the time a thorough assessment requires.
