Why do we test these?
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can increase your risk of developing coronary heart disease or kidney disease if not treated. Low blood pressure can lead to heart failure.
BMI/Body fat percentage
Having a healthy BMI and body fat percentage can reduce the risk of developing many medical conditions. A high body fat percentage is linked to cholesterol and high blood pressure, which can lead to stroke or heart disease.
Cholesterol
Having high cholesterol increases your risk of serious health conditions. High cholesterol itself doesn’t usually cause any symptoms.
Blood Glucose
When the amount of sugar in your blood becomes higher than normal this can be harmful to your health and cause diabetes.
Resting heart rate
Generally the lower your resting heart rate, the fitter you are. Adults tend to have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm), an athletes resting heart rate would be 40-60 bpm.
Oxygen saturation
Oxygen saturation levels should be 95-100%. Symptoms of low levels can include shortness of breath and increased breathing rate.
