Fitness Wave San Diego's services include: Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing- Traditional scale weight can not determine how much muscle (lean mass) or fat mass you have. This can be caused by muscle gain and fat loss cancelling each other out. A Hydrostatic Body Fat test can show your progress much more effectively and realistically. You'll be able to track how much muscle you've gained and how much
fat you've lost, which is much more encouraging! Resting Metabolic Testing- Your metabolism is a measure of how many calories your body burns every day. By testing your unique metabolic rate, we can help you understand why you have had difficulty losing weight in the past and how you can be successful in the future. Your Resting Metabolic Rate is how many calories your body burns in a 24-hour period at rest. Based on this rate, we calculate the number of calories that you burn while performing your normal daily activities. Using these two numbers, we determine your caloric intake zones for weight loss and maintenance. VO2 Max Testing- VO2 Sub-Max Testing, also known as oxygen uptake testing, measures the rate at which you consume oxygen in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute of exercise (or ml/Kg/min). This test is the ultimate measure of fitness and offers a wealth of information including overall cardiovascular fitness level, personal target heart rate zones, how many calories you burn in these zones, your anaerobic threshold, and how well your body recovers after exercise.
