Exercise Metabolic Rate

Exercise Metabolic Assessment

Everyone’s response to exercise is unique. To get the best results for yourself, it is important to know the correct intensity that will provide the optimum, sustainable burn of fat and calories, improve your fitness and your athletic performance. Estimations do not provide the individualized training programs you need. A metabolic assessment eliminates the guesswork that defeats most diet, exercise and training programs.

  • Measures your fitness and unique response to exercise
  • Simple to perform and usually requires only 8-12 minutes of exercise to complete.
  • Assessments may be performed on any aerobic equipment, such as a bicycle, treadmill or upper body ergometer
  • System uses the same technology used by hospitals, Olympic Training Centers and Sports Medicine Clinics
