What Is the Performance Physical?

The Performance Physical is a comprehensive physical examination that benefits athletic patients in their mid-20s to mid-40s. This premier physical exam focuses on health, wellness, and fitness.

It tracks performance and provides a detailed, accurate analysis of current health and fitness so each patient can understand exactly what steps they need to take to reach their goals. During the physical, we use various methods and processes to establish a baseline of overall health, body composition, physical fitness, and physical activity capabilities. Our Performance Physical monitor our patient’s health to help them achieve their goals and will also determine their:

  • Readiness for athletic training and achieving goals
  • Physical limitations or areas necessary for improvement

What To Expect From the Physical

This physical is essential for athletes and active adults alike as it allows them to track their performance to achieve their goals even faster. It’s also beneficial for patients who want to optimize their body composition before attending a show, as it provides a detailed analysis of what they need to do to reach their goals.

Each component of the physical will assess different aspects of health, wellness, and fitness to provide patients with a baseline from which they can then begin a customized regimen to achieve their body composition and fitness goals.

VO₂ Max 

VO₂ Max is a treadmill test that provides simple and accurate fitness data based on each patient’s oxygen consumption. We use this test to help our patients plan and customize an exercise program that will deliver real results. The VO₂ Max test helps patients better understand their heart rate and the intensity or duration of their workout regimen. It also helps them reach their endurance, cardio, conditioning, and fat-burning goals.

This test determines the exact heart rate for more efficient exercise. Patients will benefit from its feedback to reduce the chance of injury, lower fatigue, and increase fitness levels. VO₂ Max also determines the exact number of calories burned during exercise, which is especially helpful for patients who want to lose weight. One of the benefits of VO₂ Max is that patients can undergo periodic retesting to obtain accurate feedback about their progress over time.

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing

RMR testing measures the calories the body needs to perform basic physiological functions at rest, including breathing, blood circulation, and maintaining body temperature. Your RMR accounts for 60 to 75% of the calories your body burns daily. Once you determine your RMR, you can better monitor your health, manage your weight, plan your meals, and achieve your fitness goals.

Spirometry

Spirometry is a pulmonary function test that assesses lung wellness by measuring the total amount of air inhaled and exhaled. The device used to perform this non-invasive lung test can diagnose lung conditions and monitor patients’ lung health.

ECG

ECG, also known as electrocardiogram or EKG, is a non-invasive physical test that records the electrical activity of the heart and the signals it produces to measure heart health.

InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis

The InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis tests different data to determine total body fat percentage, lean body mass, basal metabolic rate, segmental lean analysis, and body water. This test is instrumental in tracking fitness progress and can assist patients with a weight management program and support their overall health.

VISIA Skin Analysis

The VISIA Skin Analysis visualizes each patient’s skin to check for sun damage, aging, and other concerns. It uses an AI wrinkle algorithm to detect fine lines and wrinkles and an aging simulation to project what each patient will look like at age 80 based on their current skin conditions.

It also features an injectable simulation that helps patients visualize their appearance after cosmetic injections. The analysis also features a triskin age, which determines each patient’s overall skin condition and skin, eyelash analysis, and comparisons to assist with developing the right treatment plans. The VISIA Skin Analysis system provides data for the following:

  • Sun damage assessment and analysis
  • Red and brown spots
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Inflammation
  • Skin texture
  • Pore size
  • Skin type detection
  • UV spots
  • Spider veins
  • Porphyrins
