Advancing Athlete Performance in Guatemala with COSMED Technology

Published: 22 September 2026

The Confederación Deportiva Autónoma de Guatemala (CDAG) delivered a comprehensive training program for professionals working in Sports Conditioning Centers, aimed at strengthening a multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach to performance assessment.

The program was structured in two phases, combining theoretical sessions with hands-on practice. During the training, participants worked with COSMED’s leading solutions for physiological testing:
- K5, portable metabolic system for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
- Q-NRG Max, advanced system for Resting Energy Expenditure measurement via Indirect Calorimetry

Through a rotating workstation methodology, attendees engaged in key areas such as sports nutrition, biomechanics, psychology, physiotherapy, strength & conditioning, and exercise physiology.

This approach enabled a comprehensive evaluation of athletes, integrating data on physiological response, movement efficiency, body composition, and recovery.

This initiative highlights how COSMED technology supports accurate, reliable, and scientifically grounded performance assessments, contributing to the development of both athletes and sports professionals.
