We are currently experiencing a higher than normal inquiry rate for services and packages. As a result, appointments will be made on a first come first served basis and we will make it a priority to reduce any wait. We appreciate your understanding.

There are a number of fitness and performance assessments that the Rutgers Center for health, Nutrition, EXercise and MeTabolism (NExT) has the ability to perform. We are capable of testing all populations, from athletes to office workers, with our goal to improve your health, performance and diet. These tests serve as a needs analysis allowing us to customize your training program.
We offer GIFT Certificates for Assessments and Classes.


The primary assessments include:


Cardiorespiratory Fitness

A high level of cardiorespiratory fitness is protective against chronic diseases such as heart failure, kidney failure, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and premature mortality. It is also an excellent representation of one's potential for performance in endurance-based activities. The gold standard for measuring cardiorespiratory fitness is the VO2max test.

▾ VO2max: $160

▾ Lactate Threshold Assessment: $160

 

▾ Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): $160

 

Body Composition

Body composition refers to the internal makeup of the body. As exercise and nutritional scientists, we know the value of looking beyond body weight when considering health status. Body composition measurements provide estimates of tissues like fat, muscle, and bone. This is important for assessment and prevention of excessive fat accumulation, muscle loss, and bone wasting. This is also critical for weight management programs. Measuring body weight alone doesn't give you the granularity necessary to understand the quality of weight loss or weight gain.

While each test provides its own unique value the sum of the results yields your complete fitness profile. This profile gives us the information needed to develop the best possible training program for YOU!!!
