MicroFit Assessment Program
This is a 20-30 minute appointment with a fitness assessment instructor in FCUV in which students, faculty, and staff can partake in a series of test designed to measure their resting heart rate, blood pressure, cardiovascular, fitness, body fat composition, muscular strength and flexibility. Participants will receive a detailed description of their results and how they compare with other men and women in the same age group. They will also receive a brief description of how to improve each area.
Those who wish to use this facility are required to either attend and pass a class (PE 171+) or attend a Fitness Clinic that is offered by the Department of Recreational Sports.
Policies and Procedures
In addition, all participants are required to have a towel with them at all times. The wearing of appropriate shoes, shirts, and pants/shorts are also required. Bathing suits do not constitute proper workout attire and are therefore not allowed.
