All tests are performed in a modern University laboratory by ACSM certified professionals.

Body Composition 

• Using state of the art techniques percent body fat is measured in the Bod Pod.  Accurate assessment of the amount of fat and lean tissue is helpful for athletes as well as any individual interested in a healthy lifestyle.
• Cost $75

VO2max 

• Considered by many to be the most important test of “aerobic” fitness.
• Measures the maximal ability of the body to use oxygen. 
• Maximal testing may not be appropriate for all individuals; therefore sub-maximal procedure to predict VO2max is also available.
• Test provides important information regarding efficiency (i.e., the amount of oxygen used to perform given amounts of exercise).   
• Cost $150

 Ventilatory/Lactate Threshold 

• Non-invasive measurements of minute ventilation are combined with statistical techniques to determine the Ventilatory Threshold.  This coincides with the Lactate Threshold and therefore is a key training and performance measure for the serious endurance athlete. 
• Can be added to VO2 max tests for an additional $25

Additional Tests Available:

• Anaerobic Wingate
• Occupational Assessment
• Flexibility
