Body Composition:
This test estimates body fat percentage. The 3-site skin fold
measurement technique quantifies the thickness of the
subcutaneous fat.
Aerobic Capacity: We
use the sub-max treadmill test (Bruce protocol) to estimate your
maximal oxygen uptake. This test will last 3-13 minutes with the
speed and incline of the treadmill gradually increasing.
Flexibility: While
sitting on the floor, you will be reaching as far forward as you
can with your legs extended straight. This determines your
hamstring and lower back muscle flexibility.
Abdominal Endurance:
This involves lying on your back and performing an abdominal
curl-up to a set rhythm. The test is over when you vary off the
rhythm of at the end of 90 seconds.
Push-Ups: To
determine upper body strength, you will do as many push-ups as
you can uninterrupted. The test is concluded when your form
becomes incorrect or exhaustion. Men perform the military style
push-ups; women do the modified push-up.
