Grip Strength                                                                                     Grip Info

The grip strength test measures the muscular strength of the upper extremities. There is a strong correlation between grip strength and overall upper body strength. Strength training is an important component of a physical fitness program. Not only can it help muscles become stronger, but it can also improve tone, appearance and endurance. This can help increase energy, help avoid injury, help individuals perform  daily activities and improve athletic performance.

There is a strong correlation between grip strength and body strength. Simply squeeze our machine to find out how “strong” you are.

Program encourages the addition of strength training as well as aerobics as part of an overall fitness program. Educational materials and counseling included.

Stretching Info Sheet

The 3-minute step test is a test used to measure aerobic fitness. It involves stepping up and down on a 12-inch box for up to 3 minutes at a standard step rate of 96 bpm.

Working with a metronome, a step test or, when available treadmill or stationary bicycle, is used to measure your cardiovascular endurance. Our trained coach checks resting heart rate, pulse ,blood pressure and target heart rate.

The purpose of the Step Test is to measure the heart rate in the recovery period following three minutes of stepping.

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is used a measure of body fat in adults and help assess whether you are at risk for weight-related health problems. A healthy BMI for adults is between 18.5 and 22.9.I

BMI values DO NOT APPLY TO children, pregnant women, people with muscular build (little body fat) i.e. athletes, elderly and those who have lost a lot of muscle mass.

In recent years, the body mass index (BMI) has become the medical standard used to measure overweight and obesity.

BMI is a direct calculation based on height and weight, and it is not gender-specific. BMI does not directly measure percent of body fat, but it provides a more accurate measure of overweight and obesity than relying on weight alone.

BMI is not a Perfect system, because (e.g.) very muscular people may fall into the "overweight" category when they are actually healthy and fit. But it's a useful pointer for most people. Offered free* with Heart Screen's CORE programs and fitness testing.

Many of us have not been measured since high school. Some are losing height due to certain health conditions. Our portable stadiomenter sets up in minutes and is available for individuals to self-measure so they may complete their biometrics.

Very simple. Painless, except for the results. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) looks at the relationship between the differences in the measurements of your waist and hips. 

 Measurement is done with tape measure (waist - at or below navel) hip-where buttocks are the largest). Can be self-administered as part of a health assessment or independently presented.

Waist-to-hip ratio a more important risk factor than just being overweight. According to the American Heart Association, it is healthier to be pear shaped (for your mid section to be smaller than your hips) than apple-shaped (for your mid section to be bulky). Doctors are concerned with not only how much fat a person has but also where the fat is on the body.

Abdominal obesity is a component of the Metabolic Syndrome when a waist circumference over 102 cm (40 in) in men and over 88 cm (35 inches) in women.

Bone structures vary in size and density from person to person. Equally obviously men and women have different structures. Bone mass and muscle mass all play a part in determining your optimal weight.
