Body Composition Measurements |
||
Tanita Scale: Provides the following: accurate body weight or body mass; total body water; estimated percent body fat, fat free mass, muscle mass, bone mass, basal metabolic rate (BMR), BMI, and a visceral fat rating. |
$15 | $30 |
BodPod: Examines the following: accurate body weight or body mass; body density; total lung capacity; estimated percent body fat; and estimated basal metabolic rate. |
$25 | $50 |
DEXA*: Examines the following: accurate measurement of bone density and bone mass; percent body fat; and muscle mass. |
$100 | $100 |
Cardiovascular, Strength, and Power Measurements | ||
Global Fitness Evaluation: Examines the following: Total push-ups (upper body strength); total sit-ups (core strength); 3-minute step test (cardiovascular health); hand grip strength (extremity strength); and sit-and-reach test (flexibility) |
$25 | $50 |
Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 max): Examines the following: Cardiovascular fitness: pulmonary efficiency. Information collected can be utilized to create personalized exercise prescriptions. Completed on a treadmill or bicycle ergometer. |
$25 | $50 |
Ventilatory Threshold: Examines the following: The point during exercise where skeletal muscle metabolism relies mostly on glucose for energy production, thus producing lactic acid; measurement closely reflects the lactate threshold. Information collected can be utilized to create personalized exercise prescriptions. |
$25 | $50 |
Anaerobic Power/Capacity: Examines the following: Ability of the anaerobic energy systems to produce energy during short-term maximal effort exercise. Completed on a treadmill or bicycle ergometer. Information collected can be utilized to create personalized exercise prescription. |
$25 | $50 |
Resting ECG: Examines the following: Measures the electrical activity of the heart. |
$100 | $100 |
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)*: Examines the following: Directly measures the amount of energy (kcal) needed to sustain life at rest. |
$25 | $50 |
Pulmonary Function/Spirometry*: Examines the following: A noninvasive test that demonstrates how the lungs are functioning by determining lung volume, lung capacity, inspiratory and expiratory flow capacity, and total lung volume. |
$25 | $50 |
