WHAT ARE FITNESS EVALUATIONS
Watch the video above first. 3 types of fitness evaluations we will talk about.
- V02 Max
- Resting Metabolic Rate
- Body Composition
V02 Max is a measure of how much oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. The benefit of knowing this is it gives you an indication of your life longevity. Essentially, it will give you an idea of how long and how well you will live for.
Resting Metabolic Rate is the amount of calories your body burns at rest. It is the amount of calories needed for basic body functions. For men in Canada, it usually ranges from 1600-1800. For women in Canada, it’s usually around 1400. The exact number varies for each person and the resting metabolic rate test will show you more precisely what yours is. The benefit of knowing this number is it can help you determine how many calories you need for physical activity, weight loss, or muscle gain.
Body Composition. Most people know their body weight. But who knows what their body is comprised of (muscle, fat, bone, and water)? A body composition will show you what percentage your body is comprised of in these 4 key areas. Some scales can determine body composition with general accuracy. However, if you want great accuracy, a DEXA body scan can give you those readings. The benefit of knowing your body composition is when you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle, you can see how much of your body is affected in terms of body fat %, muscle mass, bone, and water. In most cases, people want to lose as much weight as possible in the form of fat while retaining as much muscle as possible.
