Abstract

As part of the infection control response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, several measures are necessary during exercise testing in Sports Me- dicine which all aim at preventing risk to our pa- tients and colleagues and contribute generally to the reduction of contact required in the public sector. This article serves as a Guideline for acti- on, describing the contents and implementation of these measures. Basically, the public and hos- pital-specific guidelines must be adhered to on site. Due to the developing status of knowledge concerning this new disease, these recommen- dations may be valid only for a short period. They will be revised as things develop or by 01.08.2020 at the latest.
