Assessment Procedures
- Girth measurements - measurements include chest, waist, hips, thighs, arms and calves. Girth measurements are a great way to view weight loss and muscle gain.
- Flexibility - the sit and reach method is used to measure flexibility. Flexibility is an important part of daily living so individuals can perform tasks through the full range of motion.
- Muscular Endurance - the push-up and sit-up tests are used to measure muscular endurance. Muscular endurance is needed to perform daily tasks comfortably without muscle fatigue.
Body Fat Testing
UTSA Campus Recreation provides FREE body fat testing every Wednesday at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm by our two nationally certified trainers Louie Guajardo and Travis Solarczyk. Body fat testing is located across from the Orange studio in front of the upstairs cardio room.
