Testing Services on offer at Trench Health
Whether you are monitoring your health, fitness, body composition or performance - it always helps to have really accurate baseline measurements. As you make positive changes, such as exercising, losing weight or following a high performance training regime, repeated testing can give you the real hard evidence of what you have achieved. Currently on offer at Trench Health and Fitness are DEXA scans, a VO2max test and an RMR test.

DEXA SCAN
​
There are many reasons you might chose to have a DEXA scan. Perhaps it's to check your bone density, track fat loss on a weight loss program; lean tissue (muscle) on a strength and conditioning program or simply out of interest to ensure it's what it should be from a health perspective.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
​
​RMR Testing measures the amount of energy used by the body in a relaxed state. Metabolic rate is influenced by age, gender, hormones, stress levels, how much lean and fat tissue you have and several other factors.
​
Lean (muscle) tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue. This means it burns up more energy so athletes and those with a higher muscle mass generally have higher resting metabolic rates.
This is a good motivation to exercise more and build up your lean tissue!
