Dear Colleagues,
Imagine three days in the heart of Europe—three days where the very architects of modern cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) “open their labs” and share their insights with you.
We are delighted to invite you to the 27th European Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, taking place from 3–5 September 2025 in Basel, Switzerland—the only edition of this event in 2025.
This year’s practicum features a world-class faculty including:
Under the Swiss skyline, you will:
✔ Conduct live CPET sessions on cutting-edge metabolic/gas-exchange systems
✔ Decode complex data in real time with top-tier experts by your side
✔ Participate in small-group rotations for immersive, hands-on learning
✔ Submit your research for the Young Investigator Competition
✔ Enjoy Swiss precision and hospitality, including a networking dinner close to the river Rhein
If you’ve ever wanted to …
• train shoulder-to-shoulder with world-leading CPET experts,
• get hands-on with the newest metabolic cart technologies, and
• build collaborations that could redefine your clinical or research path –
… now is the time.
🕓 Important: Seats are limited and registration closes on 15 August 2025.
👉 Secure your spot now: cpx2025-dsbg@unibas.ch
With kind regards
Prof. Dr. Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss (Switzerland) – course chair and host, University of Basel
Dear all
There is an international study being performed to establish which patients are best investigated via CPET preoperatively. It is called DELPHI and involves international experts in our field.
Please get involved by going to the following website: it will not cost you anything.

Would you like to know a little bit about muscle fibres?
Watch this video about basic anatomy, physiology and significance of muscle fibres.
or about the anaerobic threshold
watch this video discussions around the anaerobic threshold
or even about CPET and exercise
then watch this video CPET and exercise
how about 9-panel plots
then this is for you the various 9 Panel Plots.
but if you are interested in the history of measurement of oxygen uptake
then try here A history of oxygen uptake
Hope you enjoy these
