Community Testing
The Exercise Science program also offers Community
Testing services conducted by faculty and graduate
students in the Robert Kertzer Exercise Physiology
Laboratory. Some of the fee-for-assessment evaluations
include blood lipid analysis, body composition analysis,
submaximal and maximal graded exercise tests, and
anaerobic threshold (lactic acid) testing. A complete list
of services and prices are listed below. Student and
group rates are also available.

    (85% of predicted heart rate maximum, Physician approval)
  5. Body composition analysis - $ 50.00 (Underwater weighing and skinfold
    measurements with interpretation and recommendations)
  6. Body composition analysis - $ 25.00
    (Bio-electrical impedance and skinfold measurements with interpretation
    and recommendations)
