Session Information
What tests will I be doing?
Fitness assessment tests may include the following activities, along with a personalized report based on your results:
- Blood pressure and resting heart rate
- Estimated percent body fat (measured through direct contact with the skin on the upper and lower body)
- Aerobic fitness (three- to five-minute stepping test)
- Back flexibility (sit-and-reach test)
- Upper body strength (bicep curl test)
Stanford Campus utilizes both MicroFit and the InBody Scan, allowing participants the option to choose either method to obtain their report. Stanford Redwood City uses the InBody Scan or hip-to-waist ratio measurements.
If you choose the InBody Scan, please note: for best results, limit eating, drinking, or working out for 2–3 hours before your fitness assessment. No Pacemakers!
What should I wear to my fitness assessment?
Please come dressed in workout attire that allows for unrestricted movement and wear closed-toed shoes.
- ACSR: Use the designated first or second-floor restrooms to change your attire.
- Redwood City: Locker Rooms are available for changing.
