Fitmate Pro

With this device we can assess functional capacity and are able to perform a variety of fitness assessments and functional evaluations on individuals. Each
client will receive a clear and comprehensive printout (feedback) concerning their wellness and physical fitness conditions, while comparing it to the most recent normative data present in the industry. Below are lists of assessments we can perform with the Fitmate Pro.

Cardio-Respiratory Fitness (CRF)
The CRF (VO2max) is the most important assessment of the cardio respiratory function. Fitmate Pro allows this assessment through the following tests: Direct measurement of VO2max during and up to maximal exertion incremental exercise protocol; and Extrapolation of VO2max by the measurement of O2 & HR during a sub-maximal incremental exercise.

Fitness Assessment
Fitmate Pro manages a number of standardized measurements including; (anthropometrics, cardiovascular muscular fitness & flexibility) which is important for the assessment of the overall fitness status

Activity Caloric Cost
Fitmate Pro can accurately estimate how many calories you burn during an exercise session. The measurement of the oxygen consumed will tell you what your typical energy expenditure is for a specific individual, exercise or complete training session.

RMR & Daily Caloric Intake
The energy burnt for the resting metabolic processes in humans (RMR) covers the largest portion of the total energy the human body spends in a day. This amount varies widely from person to person and it is quite difficult to measure. Fitmate Pro uses indirect calorimetry to measure RMR with scientific precision and a short questionnaire to estimate the energy expenditure induced by lifestyle, physical activity and exercise.

Weight Management Programs
Once the daily caloric intake is known Fitmate Pro is able to elaborate programs for weight reduction, maintenance or increase, based on the individual subject’s assessment. The programs so elaborated ensure long term and stable results as they incorporate the latest recommendations issued by the most accredited organizations in the field of nutrition.

Body Composition Analysis
Body composition is one of the most important assessments to verify the progresses of training (The Percentage difference of body fat vs. lean body mass in the body). Fitmate Pro handles this analysis in two different ways: through skin-fold Caliper measurements done by the Certified Exercise Physiologist or by integrating the data collected with external equipment such as Hydrostatic weighing.
