The Polar BodyAgeTM System is a highly intelligent computerized system that encompasses a wide range of operations. The system collects physical data from a person, determines achievable fitness levels and develops a tailor made fitness and nutrition plan for that individual.
What is the assessment?
The body assessment is the first step. The system first collects the following info from the individual:
• Interactive Blood Pressure
• Interactive Modified Sit & Reach Test
• Interactive Body Fat Composition Assessments ( we use the gold standard hydrostatic water immersion method see our bodyfat testing section)
• Interactive Biceps Strength Test
• Interactive Body Weight
• VO2 Analysis (Cardiovascular) completed from our advanced vo2 max testing (see our vo2 max testing section)
• Hip-to Waist Ratio/Body Mass Index
• Interactive Health Risk Appraisals Assessments
Using this information, the computer calculates a person's BodyAge. Based on this and additional data, the computer also calculates the person's obtainable body age - or, in other words, the maximum amount of years one can decrease from their body age. At this point, your HealthStyle Fitness personal trainer generates a specific workout and nutrition plan that will bring you closer to your optimal health & fitness and optimal body age.
Chronologically you may be 30 years old, but physiologically you may be 50. This is dependent on several factors including resting heart rate and blood pressure, body composition (% fat vs. lean mass), flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, aerobic fitness, heart disease risk factors, HDL/LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as VO2 max anaerobic threshold testing, and more, This technology is unique and we are proud to say that we are one of few places in the world to have this technology.
If you are serious about your health and longevity, this evaluation will give you the information and knowledge to accurately asses your current fitness and lifestyle habits. Upon completion of the Polar Heart Rate Testing Protocol, you will be given a detailed analysis and graphical representation of where you rank in each fitness and risk factor category. Along with utilizing this information to evaluate your real "Body Age", we will find out and change your real age for the better and give you the tools to stay young and healthy forever.
