The discovery® ladder ergometer, also called endless-ladder, has been developed to serve as a full body ergometer. Climbing up a ladder is a familiar movement pattern to many people and involves many muscle groups, such as arms, shoulders, back and upper body muscles as well as leg muscles. Thus, the intensity of the training can be very high if wanted.

Performance diagnostics is the basis for optimal training not only in sports. Firefighters as well have to train hard to be able to save lives in the case of emergency. The better the preparation, the more successful the fire brigade’s mission will be.

Likewise this applies to the training. The more a test and its evaluation is performed on individual basis, the more precisely the training intensities can be determined. Efficient training leads to success – physically and mentally.
The h/p/cosmos ladder-ergometer discovery® has also been developed for realistic stress-tests and fi tness training in the fire brigade’s training-courses world wide.
