Diagnostics before training
Spiroergometry, lactate testing and movement analysis reveal how your body actually performs. Training zones, loads and recovery are then set on solid data rather than assumptions.
Sports Performance
Enhancing physical performance and recovery through intelligent training, movement quality and targeted regeneration strategies.
Performance is built
in recovery.

Why sports performance at Lanserhof
Sports medicine, diagnostics and regeneration in one place, for measurable progress without overload.
What we work on
- Endurance and strength planning
- Movement quality and injury prevention
- Regeneration and sports nutrition
-
Weight & Sports and the Sports Performance Lab at Tegernsee, as well as the Sports & Meditation Retreat on Sylt.
-
Included are a sports medical examination, performance diagnostics, individually planned training sessions and the Lanserhof Cure. Every element is coordinated by one medical team.
-
Sports physicians accompany you throughout your stay and interpret every result in context. Ambition needs medical judgement so that progress does not come at the cost of health.
-
Spiroergometry with VO2max, lactate curves and movement analysis provide a precise picture of your capacity. Laboratory tests complete the view of metabolism and recovery.
-
Regeneration is trained deliberately: cryotherapy, altitude training and sleep optimisation help the body adapt. Better recovery means stronger training and fewer setbacks.
-
Results are documented and compared at the end of your stay. You leave with concrete training zones, a nutrition strategy and a plan you can continue at home.

As individual as you Your programme
From ambitious amateur to professional athlete: we design a programme around your discipline, your goals and your current performance data.
Sports performance at Lanserhof combines sports medicine, precise diagnostics and targeted regeneration. Whether you train for a marathon, a season or simply for a stronger body, performance grows from understanding how your body responds to load. Our resorts on Sylt and at Tegernsee offer the medical expertise and the calm surroundings to turn that understanding into results.
Performance diagnostics: spiroergometry, VO2max and lactate testing
Effective training starts with measurement. Spiroergometry determines your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and the intensity at which your body shifts from fat to carbohydrate metabolism. Lactate testing defines your individual training zones, and movement analysis identifies imbalances that limit efficiency or increase injury risk. Together, these results allow our sports physicians to plan endurance and strength training precisely, and to make progress visible at re-testing.
Regeneration as part of performance
Adaptation happens during recovery, not during exercise. That is why regeneration is planned as carefully as training at Lanserhof. Cryotherapy reduces inflammation and muscle soreness, altitude training stimulates the oxygen transport system, and physiotherapy restores mobility. Sports nutrition based on the Lanserhof Cure supports energy metabolism and tissue repair, while sleep and stress diagnostics show where recovery is being lost.
Injury prevention and sustainable performance
Long-term performance depends on staying healthy. Movement analysis, strength testing and orthopaedic assessment reveal weaknesses before they become injuries. Targeted strength training, mobility work and technique corrections address them directly. Our doctors integrate all findings into a plan that you can continue at home, so that the gains achieved during your stay become lasting improvements in performance, resilience and everyday wellbeing.
