Health, Performance And Fitness Testing

Fitness testing and evaluation form the core of the training process and provide baseline measurements from which training goals and program designs can be made. Fitness testing helps us to identify athletic and physical strengths and areas in need of improvement. Additionally, test scores can be used to set fitness goals and evaluation at regular intervals can help us track the clients progress in reaching those goals. In this sense, it is the beginning, middle and end of a truly individualized program. Ultimately, the outcome of this process is the individualized exercise prescription that will best serve each athlete or client. At Limerick Sports & Fitness Clinic we have vast experience in dealing with clients ranging from elite professional athletes, teams, recreational fitness enthusiasts and clients with chronic medical conditions.

Health Tests

For our medical clients the first assessment carried out is always a medical history and physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q). Based on the information provided it may be necessary for the client to obtain a physicians release before beginning the exercise program. See below for an outline of additional health assessment tests:

Weight

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Composition (Body Fat %, Girth Measurements)

Sports Performance & Fitness Tests

Nonfatiguing Tests (Height, Weight, Flexibility, Body Composition)

Agility Tests

Maximum Strength & Power (1 RM Strength Testing)
