Impact Report

Are you extremtly unfit ? Here is the good news.

People in the lowest fitness category reduce risk of all cause mortality by

30- 50%

by climbing two fitness categories
(this can happen within 6-12 weeks)

Vo2 Testing

This is a gold standard clinical measurement of your aerobic fitness. It can be performed on a treadmill, or exercise bike. It can be done at maximal exertion levels or sub maximal levels dependent on your medical history, medications, physical activity history and a risk stratification algorithm.

You do not have to be fit in order to do the test. For example, deconditioned participants will receive high quality data and insights that can optimise the journey to fitness.

For people who consider themselves already ‘fit’ it gives insights on how to maintain or improve your fitness. A Vo2max score is provided whereby you can categorise and compare yourself with peer groups in terms of age and sex.

In Personal Health – Medical Exercise ClinicTM we use the world renowned Cosmed Fitmate Pro device for this test. Please see 29 second video below.

Body Composition

This is a measure of your body height, weight, lean muscle mass, skeletal fat and visceral fat (fat around the internal organs). These measurements are measured as a total body composition but the test also provides an isolated breakdown of different body parts. 

The test also provides feedback on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), a very useful number for optimising your daily caloric intake. 

The test is done using the medical grade Tanita machine, which measures your body composition using bioelectrical impedance. A simple, pain free, highly accurate approach to personalised body measurement metrics.  

Strength Training

We deem this to be a vital component part of Medical Fitness TestingTM. Indeed your strength levels are a key part of your health journey over the next 10-15 years.

Strength training is vital in male and female populations over the age of 40 for maintenance of bone mineral density and lean muscle. It also reduces the risk of high blood pressure, poor cholesterol profiles and insulin resistance. Strength training plays an important role in metabolic health and hormonal regulation.

Maintenance of lean muscle tissue is considered a key metric for longevity and vitality as we get older.

The strength of any/all of your major muscle groups and joints can be tested, and if there is any injury or surgical history we can focus on specific areas of weakness for your rehabilitation.

The data provides a baseline for your current strength levels, which ought to be maintained or improved over the next 5 years of your life.

We use the VALD measurement system which is synonymous with high performance at elite level sport. Please see video (02:29) attached below.
