Hydrostatic weighing is commonly known as 鈥渦nderwater weighing鈥�. This method of measuring body composition uses the hydrodensitometry technique to accurately measure lean tissue which is denser than body fat tissue. Those with more body fat will weigh less underwater than their dry land weight measurement. This method involves being in minimal clothing (swimwear) and being weighed before and after being submerged under water. You will be required to expel all the air from your lungs whilst under water.

Performing a resting 12 lead ECG allows information on the electrical activity of the heart to be translated on to special ECG graph paper. Whilst some variations on the heart鈥檚 activity can be normal, undetected abnormal variations can be problematic particularly if an individual engages in the high-intensity activity. A resting 12 lead ECG involves have 12 electrode tags stuck to the chest so you are required to be in minimal clothing (sportswear), corresponding leads are attached to the machine to report the electrical activity of the heart while you lie rested.

• An additional report can include the details of the ECG trace for your reference

An ECG stress test reports the electrical activity of the heart whilst under stress. The ECG is conducted whilst you exercise to around 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is designed to view if any abnormal variations can be detected when stress or high-intensity exercise are recreated in this controlled environment. This may be a requirement in certain occupations or certain sports such as motorsport.

An echocardiogram, or "echo", is a scan used to look at the heart and nearby blood vessels. It's a type of ultrasound scan, which means a small probe is used to send out high-frequency sound waves that create echoes when they bounce off different parts of the body. This test analyses the structure and modelling of the heart, as well as being able to detail blood flow. This is an essential tool to detect; heart disease, damage following a heart attack or problems or infections in the heart valves. The unit runs around the area of the heart on the chest, so you will be required to be in minimal clothing (sportswear).

Lung function tests assess the health of the lungs and can also reveal the impact of sedentary lifestyles or smoking. Your height and weight are measured in order to predict lung size. You will be required to sit up straight, take a deep breath in and then forcefully exhale into a tube. This gives values that represent lung size and lung power, these are indicative of obstructive patterns in the airways or restrictive patterns on the lungs. Genetics is a large determinant of lung size and power, however, losing weight and improving cardiorespiratory fitness can induce positive changes.

Benefits:

• Repeat tests can show changes in lung function following improved body composition and improved cardiorespiratory fitness
• The measurements can aid in the diagnosis of conditions such as; asthma, COPD, bronchitis or emphysema
• Additional reporting can include the detailed breakdown of results and recommended practices for improving lung function

Asthma is described as a reversible constriction of the airways. Some individuals exhibit this constriction following intensive exercise and this manifested as an impaired FEV1 (lung power). The result of an intense exercise session or very cold or dry air exposure can be troublesome asthma symptoms for some people. The test involves undergoing a bout of exercise followed by performing lung function assessments. This is an essential test for those who have noticed difficulty breathing after exercise or winter sports athletes.

Blood glucose levels change throughout the day in response to food consumption and daily activity. Fasting blood glucose is an initial assessment of diabetes risk. Possessing high fasting blood glucose levels is indicative of diabetes risk as well as being a precursor to many cardiovascular conditions also. Isolated incidents of raised blood sugar levels (hyperglycaemia) do not pose much concern but consistently raised blood sugar levels can have significant health implications. You will be required to fast for several hours before your test, the sample will be taken via a finger-prick blood test.

Benefits:

• Repeat tests can show changes in fasting blood glucose levels following diet and lifestyle changes
• Less invasive than performing venipuncture blood collection
• A quick assessment of blood glucose levels

Cholesterol is a fatty, waxy substance found in the blood. It is essential for certain cell and hormone functions, however, having excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or 鈥榖ad鈥� cholesterol, can leave deposits on the artery walls. This may cause the arteries to harden, narrow or block entirely. Equally, adequate high-density lipoprotein levels (HDL) or 鈥榞ood鈥� cholesterol help prevent cardiovascular disease. This test is a quick and reliable method of comprehensively screening an integral factor in cardiovascular health. The cholesterol test involves taking a small amount of blood via a finger prick sample.

Haemoglobin is within the red blood cells and is responsible for transporting oxygen around the body. Haematocrit is the measure of red blood cells within the total volume of blood. The results of this test may explain symptoms of fatigue or anaemia as well revealing if someone has excessive haemoglobin level which can be problematic in blood clots and blood flow. Not just useful for health screening, in a performance setting, these markers are indicative of oxygen-carrying oxygen-carrying capacity- an essential component particularly in endurance sports. Blood samples are conducted via a finger-prick blood sample.

Considered a more substantial indicator of diabetes than a finger-prick blood test alone, this test analyses if the body has difficulty metabolising the intake of carbohydrates/sugar. You will be asked to avoid certain foods for a period of time prior to the test. A finger-prick blood glucose test is conducted before consuming a sweet glucose drink. Subsequent blood tests are conducted at intervals after the drink or a single test after 2 hours. Best practice is to be rested during this period so it would be advised to bring some reading material so you can sit comfortably for the duration.
