Fitness Assessment in Calgary
The Fitness Assessment at SMART Performance Training Centre & Clinic is a comprehensive health and performance evaluation designed for adults who want to optimize how they age. Whether you are 30 or 70, this assessment gives you a clear, objective picture of your current physical capacity, identifies areas of decline or risk, and provides a personalized roadmap to improve your healthspan. This is not a standard physical. It is a deep dive into the metrics that matter most for living longer, stronger, and pain-free.
ASSESSMENT COMPONENTS
What We Assess
Our Fitness Assessment covers the key biomarkers and physical capacities that research has linked to healthspan and Fitness. Each component is measured objectively so we can track your progress over time and adjust your plan as you improve.
01
Cardiovascular Fitness
VO2 submax estimation · Resting heart rate · Recovery rate
Cardiovascular fitness is the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality. We assess your aerobic capacity through sub-maximal testing protocols that estimate your VO2 max, measure resting heart rate, and evaluate how quickly your heart rate recovers after exertion.
02
Strength & Power
Grip strength · Lower body power · Functional strength tests
Muscle strength declines with age and is directly linked to fall risk, bone density, and metabolic health. We measure grip strength, lower body power output, and functional strength through standardized tests that give us a clear picture of where you stand relative to your age and goals.
03
Balance & Mobility
Single-leg balance · Functional reach · Gait analysis
Balance and mobility are critical for independence and injury prevention as we age. Our assessment includes single-leg stance testing, functional reach tests, and movement quality screening to identify asymmetries, compensations, and fall risk factors before they become problems.
04
Body Composition
Lean mass · Fat mass · Regional distribution
Understanding your body composition goes far beyond stepping on a scale. We assess lean muscle mass, fat distribution, and regional body composition to identify sarcopenia risk, metabolic health markers, and areas where targeted training can have the greatest impact on your long-term health.
05
Movement Quality
Functional movement screen · Joint mobility · Pain mapping
How you move determines how you feel. Our movement quality assessment identifies restrictions, compensations, and pain patterns that limit your daily function and increase injury risk. This screening informs your personalized exercise prescription and connects directly to our physiotherapy team if clinical intervention is needed.
06
Cognitive & Recovery Metrics
Reaction time · Sleep quality · Stress markers
Fitness is not just physical. We assess cognitive processing speed, reaction time, and gather data on your sleep quality, stress levels, and recovery capacity. These metrics round out the full picture and help us build a plan that addresses both body and mind.
