Key result
Gesture-specific ergometry and field telemetry achieve ~94% maximum heart rate without rhythm disorders in combat athletes.
Why the study?
Digital transformation in health drives the development of new software, motivating the justification of digital medical technologies (ERGOCID, METALYZER, MOVICORDE, and CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC) and the presentation of innovations in ergometry and field tests during the cardiovascular monitoring of Cuban high-performance athletes.
Does the implementation of gesture-specific ergospirometry, MOVICORDE wireless cardiac telemetry, and CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC software improve cardiovascular biomedical monitoring and physiological assessment in high-performance Cuban combat sports athletes?

Does the implementation of gesture-specific ergospirometry, MOVICORDE wireless cardiac telemetry, and CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC software improve cardiovascular biomedical monitoring and physiological assessment in high-performance Cuban combat sports athletes?
Integrating sport-specific ergometry protocols with wireless field cardiac telemetry and custom training-zone software enables accurate maximal physiological assessment, arrhythmia exclusion, and individualized training optimization in elite combat athletes.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports maximal testing and arrhythmia exclusion in combat athletes; leaves open randomized validation before routine adoption.
Introduction. The digital transformation in health drives the increase of new software, aligned with the dynamics of the development of information and communications technologies (ICTs). Objective. 1) To justify the benefits of using digital medical technologies —ERGOCID, METALYZER, MOVICORDE and CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC— in the biomedical monitoring of Cuban high-performance athletes. 2) To present the innovations that are carried out in ergometry and field tests during the cardiovascular medical monitoring of Cuban athletes. Method. Prospective, longitudinal study of innovation and development between January 2018 and December 2023. The universe consisted of 490 athletes from national teams in the different Olympic competition sports. The selective and intentional sample was made up of athletes, both men and women, from combat sports: judo, wrestling, boxing, taekwondo, karate, and fencing. 187 athletes were studied: 101 men and 86 women. The ages of the participants ranged between 17 and 34 years old. Results. Ergometry-specific protocols were designed, which constitute a technological innovation, for wrestling, judo, boxing, and taekwondo. Telemetric studies were carried out with MOVICORDE during training in taekwondo, karate, and fencing. The CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC software was created and used. Conclusion. The use of digital technologies has been very beneficial in the medical monitoring and sport performance of athletes. The innovations made, the design of gesture-specific ergometric protocols, and the creation of the VBA CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC macro were very useful in sports biomedical control.

Díaz et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular and biomedical monitoring in high-performance combat sports athletes (n=187). Gesture-specific ergospirometry (ERGOCID, METALYZER), wireless cardiac telemetry (MOVICORDE), and CARDIOTRAINING-CIDC software was evaluated on Maximum heart rate percentage, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), and metabolic equivalents (METs) during gesture-specific ergometry and field telemetry. Gesture-specific ergometry and MOVICORDE telemetry achieved over 94% maximum heart rate across combat sports while ruling out rhythm disorders in all monitored athletes.
