Clinical Fitness Assessment

Week of July 15, 2023

Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF) level is the strongest predictor of all-cause and disease-specific mortality.  CRF is related to functional capacity, human performance, and metabolic efficiency. In other words, your CRF level sheds light on how well you can perform in a variety of physical activities and how well you are able to burn the calories you consume.

The RLP Clinical Fitness Assessment includes two 30 minutes sessions with Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Jody Miller, during your week at the Ranch. During session one, Body Composition and Aerobic Capacity are assessed.

Body Composition is assessed using the skinfold caliper method with measures taken at several sites on the body (thigh, triceps, subscapular, supra-iliac and abdomen).

Aerobic Capacity (METS) is assessed using a sub-maximal cycling protocol. Guests ride a Schwinn AirDyne to a predetermined target heart rate. Heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.

During session two, a summary of your results will be reviewed, and personalized recommendations will be provided.

Appointments are available:
Mondays & Wednesdays 8:30 – 1:00pm
Tuesdays & Thursdays 11:30am – 4:00pm
