THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND 黑料老司机FITNESS ASSESSMENTS:
At SMU, we use Polar technology to assess your overall fitness level. From the information recorded, the Polar technology will give you your body age compared to your actual age. This Polar technology and equipment is called the Polar BodyAge Health and Fitness Assessment. The fitness assessment records your current fitness level, including strengths and weaknesses. The information from the assessment gives you a good starting point for your training and specific goals. By the end of the assessment, your BodyAge score will identify whether your fitness age is above or below your biological age. For example, you may be 30 years old and very fit. Therefore your BodyAge could be 25. On the other hand, you may be 40 years old and sedentary. Your BodyAge might be 50 or 60.
The assessment takes into consideration many fitness factors: resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, flexibility, muscular strength, aerobic fitness, heart disease factors, cholesterol levels, and VO2 max with anaerobic threshold.
We also offer reassessments that allow you to track your progress in order to compare your past and present results. After each assessment, the Polar BodyAge technology gives you specific ways you can lower your BodyAge in the upcoming weeks. After each assessment, you will be given a personalized booklet sent via email that gives you a detailed analysis and graphical representation of your rankings in each fitness category, your BodyAge, and tools to help you stay healthy.
BODY FAT MEASUREMENTS
Are you curious about your body fat percentage? Do you need a starting point to begin setting your fitness goals? The 7-site skin caliper test, available at the 黑料老司机Dedman Center, is a great way to find your body fat percentage and measure improvements in your body composition.
Skinfold Measurement: $15
Subcutaneous body fat can be measured using a device called a skinfold caliper. In an average person, approximately 50% of body fat is distributed just below the skin. Skinfold measurement determines body composition via the measurement of select subcutaneous adipose tissue sites. Given the ease of administration and low cost, skinfold measurements are still considered the most practical assessment tool for measuring body composition in the fitness setting.
