At OA Care Clinic, our Fitness Assessments provide an accurate picture of your current physical condition and help you create a clear path toward improved health, performance, and well-being.
Before beginning a new exercise routine or wellness program, understanding your baseline fitness level allows you to set realistic goals and monitor progress effectively.
One of our key evaluations, the VO₂ Max Test, measures your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise — a vital indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance capacity. A higher VO₂ max score means your heart and lungs deliver oxygen more efficiently to your muscles, boosting energy, stamina, and performance.
Our VO₂ Max Test measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize per minute relative to your weight. This test is typically performed on a treadmill or stationary bike, where you gradually increase effort until you reach your peak intensity.
In addition to VO₂ Max, our fitness assessments may include body composition testing, muscular strength evaluation, and flexibility measurements. These provide a comprehensive understanding of your fitness profile, helping identify strengths and areas for improvement.
By understanding your fitness baseline, you can make informed decisions about your training program, track improvements, and reduce your risk of injury while achieving lasting results.
