FITNESS ASSESSMENTS: 

The City of Duluth is pleased and excited to welcome back the College of St. Scholastica Exercise Physiology Department to provide Fitness Assessments for all employees and retirees during the Health Fair.

The assessments will be offered in 30-minute time slots from 8am-12pm in Gooseberry Room 3.  

What are Fitness Assessments? A Fitness Assessment will measure and test the following:

• Resting Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
• Body Fat Composition
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Cardio-Respiratory endurance

The results of these “tests” will give you a baseline to work with in order to improve your overall health.   If you are looking to increase your flexibility for example, the students will measure how far you are able to reach, then provide suggestions on how to increase your range of movement.  All of the information you receive is strictly confidential and for your own purposes, however you can share it with a personal trainer, medical doctor, or your Wellness Coordinator to develop a plan to increase your strength, cardio endurance, and flexibility, while decreasing body fat and blood pressure.
