Body composition can be assessed using the BOD POD\u00ae, which is a gold-standard technique for estimating percent body fat. The BOD POD\u00ae can also provide an accurate estimate of resting metabolic rate. A full test takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and provides highly accurate, safe, comfortable, and fast test results.<\/p>\n\n\n

Maximal aerobic fitness testing, or VO2<\/sub>max testing, is considered the gold standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is important for health and key to athletic performance. The Jack R. Leighton Human Performance Laboratory uses an integrated metabolic measurement system to determine maximal oxygen consumption during exercise. This test takes approximately 1 hour to complete and can be conducted on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. The VO2<\/sub>max test is a highly accurate, safe, and reliable assessment of aerobic capacity and ventilatory threshold.<\/p>\n![\"Student](\"https:\/\/test-www.ewu.edu\/chsph\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/Testing-300x205.jpg\")

The isokinetic dynamometer is the gold-standard measure for testing muscle strength. Various protocols can be used to assess different metrics, such as strength, endurance, and speed strength. Assessing muscle strength with an isokinetic dynamometer provides accurate and useful information for various activities. The most common protocol measures the strength balance between the quadriceps and hamstrings, which can provide helpful information regarding muscle imbalances and injury risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
