The Fitness assessment program is an outreach program to help both UNCG members and the community to obtain valid measures of selected health related components of health fitness and or performance. The components of fitness that we can determine use valid scientific procedures. The program is primarily staffed by Kinesiology Department Exercise Physiology faculty and graduate students for learning purposes and as a service to the community.

Goals
- To evaluate the aerobic capacity of the individual using either a maximal aerobic protocol or submaximal protocol.
- To evaluate a person’s percent body fat using one of the established methods available: Hydrostatic, Skinfolds or air displacement (Bod-Pod) procedures.
- To evaluate if resting metabolic rate is within normal ranges.
- To determine a person’s power analysis on a cycle ergometer.
