poulin Philosophy Step Two - Assessment
During each 3-6 one-hour assessment, Nicholas will determine your body's current ability, with one measuring your output and another recording the data, in order to maintain the critical window of time needed to obtain accurate information. Nicholas measures your:
✔ Cardiorespiratory - A cardiorespiratory assessment shows how efficiently your cardiorespiratory system functions, which is an indicator of your overall level of fitness.
✔ Muscle strength - This test helps us identify muscle weaknesses and imbalances.
✔ Muscle flexibility - Flexibility is the degree to which a muscle will lengthen or stretch. Short, tight muscles are painful and contribute to a higher risk of injury.
✔ Muscle memory - Muscle memory helps you rebuild strength more quickly after a lapse in training.
✔ Tendon strength - Tendon strength helps prevent injuries. It also increases strength.
✔ Balance - Balance is vital to all movement. It is an essential component of all types of training.
✔ Range of motion - Range of motion is a key component of healthy joint functioning. A good range of motion can help reduce pain, keep joints healthy, and improve your balance and strength.
✔ Body fat composition - A higher body fat percentage greatly increases your risk
of death from cardiovascular problems and more.
