Lode for Life - Understanding Movement & Performance Together we can transform your specific ideas and wishes into custom-made products.

Ever since Freerk Lode manufactured the first electro-magnetic cycle ergometer in 1952, accuracy, reliability and durability have been fundamental for further developments. Having started years ago in the small market of cardiology and pulmonary function, Lode BV has become a specialist in the complete spectrum of medical ergometry. Lode is world renowned as a manufacturer of high quality ergomete

rs and the Lode brand stands for accuracy, durability and ergonomic design. The Lode product range varies from bicycle ergometers and treadmills to recumbent, arm and supine ergometers and ergometry software. Long-term experience in manufacturing medical equipment and continuous development to meet the changing requirements of the market, make Lode a flexible and reliable partner. Before leaving the factory all Lode ergometers are dynamically calibrated and, of course, all units are produced under the strictest quality control conditions. Lode is ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003 and FDA certified and fulfils the EU Medical Device Directive MDD 93/42/EEC. Over years of use, service costs are almost negligible. In other words:

Lode is the standard in Ergometry

From the exhibition floor to the future of cardiac MRI.

Last week, we attended ISMRM 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa. From our booth, we welcomed many visitors and had valuable conversations about the application of our MRI solutions in cardiovascular diagnostics and exercise testing.

During the congress, we were also joined by our South African distributor Lifemax. Together, we had the pleasure of meeting professionals from across the international MRI community.

In addition to the many discussions on the exhibition floor, we also had the opportunity to speak with several MRI scanner manufacturers, allowing us to stay fully up to date with the latest developments in the MRI field. Furthermore, we were able to visit a local hospital, which provided valuable additional insights during our visit.

Overall, we look back on a very successful week in South Africa. We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth and we look forward to continuing existing collaborations and building new connections.

Lode receives JTF grant for digitalisation and robotics

Lode has been awarded funding under the SME Digitalisation and Robotics 2.0 (JTF) programme for the project “Digitalisation and Robotics for Medical Software.”

Within this project, we are working on the further digitalisation and automation of our testing and quality assurance processes for medical software and equipment. This marks an important step towards more efficient, scalable, and less error-prone software development, while continuing to ensure quality, safety, and compliance.

With this development, we are investing in future-proof medical technology and strengthening our international position as an innovative partner within healthcare and sports medicine.

This project is co-financed by the European Union through the Just Transition Fund (JTF).

Connecting with the future of cardiology

Recently, our colleagues attended the ESC Preventive Cardiology congress in Ljubljana.

During the congress, the latest developments in (preventive) cardiology were highlighted. Topics such as CPET, the 6-minute walking test, cardiac imaging, and cardiac rehabilitation, including aerobic training, were extensively discussed.

A valuable opportunity to gain new insights. It was also great to see how our solutions (can) play a role within cardiology. We look back on an interesting congress with many valuable conversations.

Advancing diagnostics in sports-related vascular conditions.

At Máxima Medisch Centrum (MMC), the Lode Excalibur Sport plays a key role in pioneering research into flow limitations in the iliac arteries (FLIA), a condition that can cause pain and loss of power during maximal exercise.

By using pedal force measurement, clinicians are able to diagnose one-sided FLIA with high precision. Building on this, MMC has initiated new research focusing on individual power patterns to potentially identify FLIA in patients experiencing bilateral symptoms. The ultimate goal: improving the detection of sport-related vascular problems in athletes.

As one of the most advanced cycle ergometers in both elite sports and clinical research, the Excalibur Sport PFM supports these developments with:

✔ A workload range of 10 to 3000 W
✔ Optimal support for Wingate sprint testing and CPET
✔ Certified precision, stability, and long-term reliability
✔ Integrated Pedal Force Measurement (PFM) for real-time, high-resolution left-right force analysis and advanced biomechanical insights

“We detect sport-related vascular problems in athletes using pedal power measurements of the Lode Excalibur Sport PFM.” - Martijn van Hooff

We are proud that our ergometry solutions support MMC in their efforts to advance clinical insight and improve outcomes for athletes and patients alike.
