Cosmed Fitmate Pro
The Cosmed Fitmate Pro is a compact desktop system for measuring oxygen uptake at rest and during exercise, with a built-in display and thermal printer. Its accompanying software supports data management and reporting. Choose the system according to the measurements, testing protocol and reporting your service requires.
The compact Fitmate unit is ideally suited to use in universities, colleges, health clubs, training centres, corporate wellness, and professional athletes and teams. It allows a wide range of fitness assessments and measurements to be performed, including VO2 max and sub-max VO2 testing.
Fitmate Pro assessment and reporting features:
- Measures oxygen uptake during maximal and submaximal exercise. In a submaximal test, VO₂max is predicted from measured VO₂ and heart-rate responses; it is not directly measured at maximal effort. See COSMED’s summary of the submaximal prediction study.
- Reports: Maximal Oxygen Uptake, Anaerobic Threshold prediction & Individual Training Zones
- Measures RMR, REE & Calorific Energy Cost of Exercise for enhanced Nutritional Assessment
- Collects and reports Stamina, Strength, Suppleness Cardiopulmonary Fitness Assessment tests and information
- Supports recording body-composition and blood-pressure assessment information alongside metabolic results
- Standalone operation with a built-in thermal printer for reporting results.
- Body Composition & Comprehensive Weight Management, plus optional data-logging data
- Provides automatic, adjustable anaerobic-threshold detection for practitioner review
- Software included offers further enhanced Data Management system, Diet planning, ACSM Exercise Prescription and more
The desktop unit has a colour LCD, keypad and built-in thermal printer for standalone testing and printed reports without an external computer or printer.
Standalone operation can suit services that need to perform and report assessments without a computer at the testing station.
Fitmate Pro reporting can combine metabolic test results with separately collected anthropometric, muscular-fitness and flexibility results. Use the appropriate equipment and protocol for each assessment.
Body-composition results can be entered for reporting alongside metabolic assessments. These are separate assessment inputs; the gas analyser itself does not measure body fat or lean mass.
The system reports exercise energy expenditure and resting metabolic rate to support nutritional assessment. Interpret these outputs alongside the test conditions, measurement limitations and the participant’s wider assessment.
Energy-balance planning combines resting metabolism with activity and dietary information. Software outputs support practitioner-led planning; they do not guarantee a particular weight change.
Exercise energy-expenditure reports can support discussions about activity goals and progress.
For repeat assessments, record the protocol and testing conditions so that changes can be interpreted in context.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) assessment uses oxygen consumption measured at rest to calculate resting energy expenditure. It is not a direct measurement of total daily energy needs.
The PC software supports exercise-prescription planning using assessment results. COSMED describes features based on American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidance; practitioners should review generated plans against the participant’s needs and applicable current guidance.
The powerful PC software application allows data to be stored and analysed before automatically generating an illustrated training routine with suggested exercises based on assessment outcomes and facilitating the assessment of Fitness Goals. Confirm the current software version, supported Windows systems, licence terms and availability with us when requesting a quotation.
COSMED describes Fitmate Pro testing without calibration gas cylinders. Follow the applicable user manual for calibration, verification, sensor maintenance and pre-test checks; this does not mean the system is maintenance-free. See our testing equipment calibration guide for the distinction between routine checks and calibration.
