Metabolic Testing
To achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you have to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Yet, each person’s metabolism is as different as their fingerprint and DNA. One size does not fit all. With that said, how do you know how many calories are needed to support your lifestyle? How do you know when you are exercising at your most efficient and effective levels? How can you be certain your exercise program is working?
With a scientific assessment using New Leaf metabolic equipment, these questions are answered. Where standard formulas for determining caloric needs and heart rate zones are based only on population averages, a personal metabolic assessment provides information specific to your physiology.
There are two types of assessments; resting and exercise. Both involve wearing a neoprene mask over your nose and mouth to collect respiratory gases. A resting test will determine how many calories you expend at rest. Adjustments are then made for lifestyle and exercise. An exercise test can take place on the treadmill or bicycle and is used to determine heart rate training intensities best suited for your specific goals whether weight management or improving athletic performance. Remember, training smarter does not mean training harder!
Not only is New Leaf testing equipment used in hospitals and research institutions, it is also used by world-class athletes and coaches. Tests are administered by Susan Eichensehr who has earned her Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology (MSCEP) and has over two years experience with the New Leaf system. If you have any questions on how a metabolic profile will provide a roadmap to your fitness destination or would like to schedule an appointment, please call Susan at 630-513-2000.
