Human Performance Analysis
The human performance analysis test series is conducted in Northern Michigan University's exercise science laboratory. All testing is administered by trained laboratory personnel under the supervision of an exercise specialist certified by the American College of Sports Medicine. Testing for individuals over 35 years of age is monitored by a physician and requires an electrocardiogram.
The human performance analysis test series costs $90. Results can be sent to a personal physician upon request.
The analysis includes:
Body Composition estimation, including percent of fat and lean body weight.
Also available at additional fee are:Expired air analysis for resting metabolic rate
Treadmill or cycle ergometer functional graded exercise test
This test involves progressive exercise to maximal functional capacity. The protocol for the test will vary according to current activity level and medical history, but normally involves walking and/or running on a motorized treadmill at increasing workload intensities.
Pre-exercise and exercise heart rate
Expired air analysis for maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power
Post-exercise recovery data
Computer summary of all test results and explanation handout
Blood lactate profile, $20
Follow-up consultation, $30, with one of the laboratory exercise physiologists to review the test results and plan specific exercise training/conditioning programs
Electrocardiogram, $25
