Abstract
We report the case of an athlete who, despite facing the challenges of laryngectomy, underwent a comprehensive cardiopulmonary exercise test to assess both his ability to participate in sports and his cardiopulmonary fitness. We not only highlight the individualized approach to sports assessment in a challenging medical context but also emphasize the feasibility of employing cardiopulmonary testing in evaluating subjects in unusual settings.
