School Field Trips
Physical Education, Sports Performance, and Sports Medicine classes enjoy learning outside of a classroom by coming to the University of Alberta SHAC lab for our athlete combine and laboratory testing.
Combine Testing - $35/student
This allows your students to go through the exact same testing U of A’s varsity athletes go through. This all-encompassing fitness testing will allow your students to experience what it takes to be an all-around athlete. Following your testing, individualized results will be provided comparing your students to their peers and our very own varsity athletes.
What to bring:
- Comfortable workout wear, appropriate footwear, water bottle, and snacks
- Signed consent and GAQ forms
Time: Variable based on testing battery and group size
Note: Pricing may vary depending on group size and number of tests requested
Laboratory Testing - $500
Bring your students into the exciting world of performance testing. This includes an opportunity for VO2 Max, Wingate, and body composition testing. A lab tour allows for students to learn and be involved in the science behind fitness testing in action with our staff members.
