HUMAN PERFORMANCE EXAM
In order to help you get to your goals, I have to know what your starting point is. The Health & Performance Examination is designed to do just that in addition to providing a blueprint on how to get to the goals.
Muscle Performance:
Push up endurance
Over 40 associated with better CVD outcomes.
Plank Endurance
Maximal Combined Grip Strength
Straight Leg Lift Abdominal Strength Test
Cardiovascular Performance:
Indirect or direct VO2max
FE02/CO2
Movement:
Sit & Reach Flexibility at Home
Balance
Single leg stance
Functional Movement Screen (FMS):
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is not intended to diagnose orthopedic problems but rather to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement in individuals.
The screen is designed to place an individual in extreme positions where movement deficits become noticeable if appropriate stability and mobility are not used. Even though individuals are performing an activity or sport at a high level, it has been observed that many of these same individuals are limited in fundamental movement. This leads to the use of compensatory movements in order to achieve or maintain the level of performance needed for the activity. The inefficient use of compensation during movement will lead to poor biomechanics that limit gains in performance and reduces the body’s ability to remain adaptable and durable against the risks of being involved in the activity or sport.
History & Intake:
Review of previous and current health status as well as lifestyle interview.
Report and Assessment
Presentation and summary of finding associated with examination as well as initial recommendations and next step guidance.
