Basal Metabolic Rate<\/h3>\n

\n Basal metabolic rate testing measures resting energy expenditure while the client breathes through a mouthpiece connected to a metabolic system without performing exercise.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

VO\u2082 Max and Exercise Efficiency<\/h3>\n

\n These exercise assessments measure cardiorespiratory response and movement efficiency during progressively harder work on a treadmill or stationary bike while heart rate and metabolic data are monitored.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Lactate Threshold<\/h3>\n

\n Lactate threshold testing identifies the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate more rapidly, using graded exercise and small blood samples collected at regular intervals.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Hydration Assessment<\/h3>\n

\n Hydration status is assessed through urine specific gravity collected across consecutive mornings, providing a non-invasive picture of day-to-day hydration habits.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Sweat Testing<\/h3>\n

\n Sweat testing helps evaluate sweat response and hydration-related needs by collecting sweat from a small stimulated area of the forearm or through wearable sweat analysis tools used during exercise.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Heart Rate Variability<\/h3>\n

\n Heart rate variability assessment is used to monitor autonomic balance, recovery, and stress regulation, and can also support mindfulness, breath control, and biofeedback training.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Wearable Device Checkout<\/h3>\n

\n Clients may check out wearable technology for 2- or 4-week periods to gather real-world data related to sleep, glucose trends, sweat response, workload, recovery, and daily wellness.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Vertical Jump and Jump Endurance<\/h3>\n

\n This assessment measures single-jump height and repeated jump performance to evaluate lower-body power and jump endurance.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Body Composition and Weight<\/h3>\n

\n Body composition assessment uses bioelectrical impedance to estimate lean mass and fat mass, alongside body weight measurement for general health and performance tracking.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Nutrition Assessment<\/h3>\n

\n Nutrition assessment includes an interview-based review of non-medical health and performance goals, followed by evidence-based suggestions related to health promotion, exercise, body composition, or race fueling.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

24-Hour Salivary Cortisol<\/h3>\n

\n This assessment tracks cortisol patterns across a 24-hour period to better understand stress regulation and identify times when recovery or stress-management strategies may be useful.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Additional Screening Measures<\/h3>\n

\n Additional quick screening options offered through the lab include hemoglobin check, blood glucose, and hand grip strength testing.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
