Comprehensive Fitness Assessment
This comprehensive fitness assessment, available to students, faculty, staff and their spouses, will help to determine your current level of fitness.
A series of resting and exercising assessments will help establish baseline measurements that can then be used to set goals, monitor performance, and assess progress throughout your exercise program. Following your assessment, you will receive a computerized, age-adjusted fitness profile displaying your results. Based on these results, a SPARTANfit staff member will work with you to establish a tailored 3-month goal-oriented fitness and wellness plan.
Our in-person fitness assessments may take up to 1 hour. If time constraints pose a challenge to receiving our services, please email us at SPARTANfit@msu.edu for accommodations.
The following assessments are administered:
Resting Assessments
- Heart Rate
- Blood Pressure
- Height and Body Weight
- Body Composition Analysis (utilizing bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or skinfold measurements)
- Optional Add-on: InBody 380 Body Composition Analysis for additional fee.
- The InBody 380 provides a comprehensive estimate of overall body composition including fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage. This method is non-invasive as it measures total body water by sending low-level electrical currents through the body and gauging the impedance (resistance). A SPARTANfit Staff member will guide you through the analysis and explain your results. Your results can then be used to develop a 3-month goal-oriented fitness and wellness plan.
