        Evaluations

 


Fitness Evaluation . . .
this one-on-one evaluation with a qualified health specialist allows individuals to establish realistic health & fitness goals, develop a personalized fitness plan, and obtain baseline data on body composition and circumference measurements (if desired).  Health concerns such as orthopedic issues, high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, and nutritional counseling may also be addressed during the consultation.   Follow-up sessions are conducted approximately every 6 weeks to assess progress and adjust goals as necessary.  To schedule a fitness evaluation, contact Julie Dial (jbdial@utmb.edu) or Gerald Cleveland (gtclevel@utmb.edu).     

Lifestyle Evaluation . . . available to all UTMB students, alumni, retirees, employees & their families include the following:

  • Body Fat Analysis - Lange calipers are used to determine body fat percentage by measuring the subcutaneous fat. 

  • Circumference Measurements - baseline measurements are taken in inches and reassessed at later dates.

  • Health Risk Assessment (HRA)   FOR UTMB EMPLOYEES ONLY    - the HRA identifies health risks associated with unhealthy lifestyle choices (questionnaire). The health risk appraisal allows people to identify, assess, and determine what health habits they want to change for improving their current health status.  

    (Please complete your HRA before your appointment and bring your personal report.)
