1st Russian EH competition winner

The prize: Champions League football plus a fitness check-up at medicos.AufSchalke

After Dr Sergej Pavlov, director of performance and cardio-diagnostics at the Moscow Science Centre for Sports Medicine, won our Readers Survey competition (4/07), he and a friend shared an unusual prize – three days in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, the home of the Premier League football team FC Schalke 04, and of the team’s professional health and fitness partner, edicos.AufSchalke, a renowned sports medicine and rehabilitation clinic.

Their agenda included fitness and football with a two-day manager health check-up for Sergej, and watching the Champions’ League game between FC Schalke 04 and Rosenborg Trondheim in Gelsenkirchen-Schalke.

‘European Hospital’s idea to offer Russian readers articles in their native language is great. So I participated in the reader survey to support this initiative. Of course, I’m delighted that I won,’ said Sergej. For he is cardiologist and specialist in sports and internal medicine, who is responsible for the health of top Moscow athletes, what medicos.AufSchalke had to offer was of great interest. During his two-day health check-up he was assessed from head to toe: lung function, lactate values, thyroid function, musculoskeletal system and more. Based on the results, a personalised nutrition programme was compiled and a health-oriented fitness regime was devised.

Following all the strenuous exercises, Sergej used the medicos.AufSchalke regeneration facilities, which include massage and sauna and use of the luxurious Courtyard of the Mariott Hotel. With a staff of around 100 people, the Moscow institute provides in- and out-patient services, caring for top swimmers and gymnasts as well as the professional football teams Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow.

‘I was particularly keen to see the services the clinic offers because it is also used by the FC Schalke 04 Premier League football team. We, and above all Zurab Ordjonikdze, our managing director at the Moscow Science Centre for Sports Medicine, are always looking at ways to optimise our performance diagnostics,’ he added.

Along with their medical professional interest, the Moscow and the Gelsenkirchen institutions share a passion for football. Watching the Champions League match from the comfort of the VIP lounge of Veltins-Arena, Sergej’s rooting for the home team appeared to inspire FC Schalke 04 to thrash Rosenborg Trondheim 3:1.
