What Gets Evaluated With MicroFitÒ?
Health History
The Health History program is a short set of
questions based upon the popular Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
(PAR-Q) developed by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. It is
recommended as a minimal screening tool for anyone starting an exercise program.
This program can identify the small number of people for whom exercise might
be inappropriate or those who should seek medical advice concerning the
most suitable type of exercise activity.
Wellness Profile
The Wellness Profile program examines
lifestyle behaviors that can affect an individual’s health and longevity. The
questionnaire focuses on the areas of exercise, nutrition, alcohol drinking,
safety, tobacco use, and stress. The Wellness Profile analyzes your current
health behaviors and provides recommendations to reduce the risk of future
disease.
Fitness Testing
The Fitness Profile program can record,
analyze, and track physical health and fitness measurements for males and
females ages 6 to 90. The program includes over 40 tests in the areas of body
shape and composition, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and
flexibility
