Sportscare Performance Testing

Baylor SportsCare offers the following types of performance testing.

• Basal Metabolic Rate
  This test measures how your body digests fat and carbohydrates to determine how much energy your body uses when you aren't exercising.
• Lab Tests
  These extensive tests allow your physician to evaluate your cell count, blood-glucose level, kidney/liver function, electrolytes, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
• Helium Re-Absorption Hydrodensitometry (Underwater Weighing)
  This is the most accurate way to measure body composition (body-fat percentage, fat mass, and lean mass) because your lung volume is actually measured and factored into the results.
• Calipers
  This test measures "fat folds" at various sites on your body to determine body-fat percentage.
• Treadmill Tests
  These analyses measure your cardio-respiratory level and determine how your body responds to exercise.
• General Fitness Assessments (GFA)
  These evaluations feature such fitness and wellness components as basic cardiovascular and pulmonary function, body composition, strength, and flexibility, and include basic blood work.
• Executive Fitness Assessment
  This comprehensive assessment is used to improve overall health and fitness through lifestyle-enhancing instruction.
