Sport and Exercise Science Testing
We provide fitness testing and health assessment services to help you find your health and fitness levels, whether you are an elite athlete or just stepping foot into the gym for the first time.
Our equipment measures your body composition, movement, speed, force production, muscle and body fat mass as well as arterial health, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose.
Tests available:
General Health Testing
Body Composition
Understand and monitor changes in your body weight. Measures the proportion of muscle, fat and water in your body.
Blood Pressure
Knowing your blood pressure is crucial to understanding your risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
Arterial Stiffness
Provides lifestyle tips to reach a “young arterial age.” Great for over 40 years olds.
Blood tests via finger prick
• Cholesterol: LDL/HDL cholesterol and lipids
• Blood glucose: sugar in blood to help understand and manage diet
• HbA1c: 3 month average of blood sugar to know long term diet impacts on health
• Ferritin: stored iron levels related to fatigue, dizziness, and chronic headaches
Sports Testing
• Lactate Threshold
• Maximal Oxygen Uptake
• Oxygen Utilization (Economy)
• Submaximal Aerobic Testing
• Wingate Testing
• Other Power Tests (including cycle test, vertical jump etc.)
