Body Composition Measurement - Uses skin fold calipers or Body Fat Analyzer
to measure the thickness of skin and subcutaneous fat at various sites on
the body. The measurements are used to estimate the percentage of body fat
versus lean body weight.
Resting Measurements - Determines resting blood pressure and heart rate.
You should not drink caffeine or smoke at least three hours prior to the
test.
Consultations - Confused on how and where to begin a fitness routine? The
Manager and Assistant Director, Fitness is available for consultations on
these issues. An overview on exercise, its definitions and types and the
basics of a well-rounded program are discussed.
Orientations - If you shy away from physical activity because you are not
quite sure how to use the equipment, orientations are just a phone call
away. Orientations provide instruction on the safe and effective use of both
the strength and cardiovascular equipment and they also provide information
on general exercise principles. Orientations can take place at the facility
of your choice.
