Where to Start?
Health Appraisal?
A health appraisal is a combination of tests to determine your overall fitness, this will include looking into areas like “Lung Capacity” and “Blood Pressure” along with your general Cardio Vascular fitness.
What is Assessed?
Resting Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Lung Function - this includes expired volume of air and lung capacity, Grip test to determine arm shoulder strength, Lower Limb Flexibility and Body Fat Measurement using the Bodystat 1500.
We will then move onto physical assessments, walk on a treadmill for 2 km, your time and heart rate are recorded and a fitness index can be measured.
There are also upper body assessments in the form of press ups, sit ups and standing squats and a 1½ mile run, for those more adventurous. This will be run separate to the main appraisal.
Result Calculation
The results are calculated using specialized measuring devices which can give a true and accurate measurement of what is going on with your body in relation to your general fitness and well being. As you would imagine an assessment of this length and depth will take some time, please allow between 2 – 3 hours for completion.
A detailed print out of the assessment may be given on request.
