Performance Package

Body composition, resting metabolic rate, and V̇O2max testing offered by the Community Health and Performance Assessment Program within the Department of Human Performance and Health at USC Upstate. This test utilizes air displacement plethysmography to determine your body fat percent, fat mass, and fat-free mass. Indirect calorimetry is utilized to determine your caloric needs in a resting state, as well as the maximal amount of oxygen you are able to utilize during exercise. V̇O2max testing can be performed on the treadmill or cycle ergometer. Clients will receive a pre-participation health screening, pre-testing instructions, and an interpretation packet detailing the results of their selected testing. This service is overseen by PhD exercise physiologists and student mentees using research grade laboratory equipment in the Exercise and Sport Science Lab and can be used to establish health and performance goals and track progress. This testing takes ~90 min. This testing is in no way intended to be a medical diagnosis.
