Our Services
Our Sport and Health and Assessment team at the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation, provides all aspects of physiological assessment, and interpretation for individuals, athletes and coaches. Our testing ranges from field-based methods to gold standard laboratory-based methods. Post-testing, our experts provide simple and effective data analysis for athletes, coaches, and other members of the performance services team in order to provide appropriate exercise and physical activity prescription.
Metabolic
Our metabolic testing services provide information regarding your body’s metabolism at rest or your body’s current fitness level. Through metabolic tests we are able to give you a better understanding of your body.
Body Composition Testing
A fast, non-invasive InBody 380 scan that measures muscle mass, body fat, hydration, and metabolic rate, with region-specific results for your arms, legs, and trunk to support performance and health tracking. Learn how this information can be used to track changes over time, whether your goal is to increase muscle mass or reduce body fat percentage.
Muscular Strength, Power + Endurance
We offer a variety of muscular strength, endurance, power, and flexibility testing. Specific testing may be recommended depending on your current health or injury, occupation, or sport activity.
Sport Teams
Customizable combine testing for amateur and elite teams, available both on campus and on location in the Edmonton area, to evaluate key performance metrics like speed, power, and agility against varsity level benchmarks.
Sport Performance
