Health and fitness testing at Syracuse University

SYRACUSE (WSYR-TV) Have you ever wondered exactly how much body fat you have? The ?Bod Pod? at the Syracuse University Human Performance Laboratory can tell you after sitting in the machine for just a few short minutes.

Students in Exercise Physiology are conducting research studies which make this and other fitness tests available to central New Yorkers for free. All you have to do to is sign up for a study.

To find out if you are eligible, contact the Kevin Heffernan, the director of the Human Performance Laboratory. Kevin can be reached at hplcuse@gmail.com?or by phone at 443-4540.

Other tests offered include what you would typically find at your doctors office, like blood tests that analyze your cholesterol and iron levels. A few assessments offered are typically only available to top-tier athletes, like the maximum endurance test, which is scientifically proven to be the best method of determining your level of fitness.
