Health Checks
The University of Cambridge Sports Service is pleased to offer to a Mobile Health Check Service.
Health Checks measure:
- Cholesterol (Total & HDL) (Health Check PLUS only): a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs for good health, but in the right amount. Too much cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular issues due to restricted blood flow.
- Blood Glucose (Health Check PLUS only): check if your body is regulating blood sugar correctly. Incorrect blood glucose levels can be the cause of feeling low in energy, dizziness, nausea, sweating, headaches and confusion.
- Body Composition: Gain an understanding of muscle and fat distribution, paving the way for tailored workout and nutrition strategies for optimal results.
- Peak Flow: Measure your lung function, a vital aspect in optimising cardiovascular fitness and endurance during your workouts.
- Blood Pressure: Monitor your blood pressure levels to assess cardiovascular health, ensuring a holistic approach to your overall well-being.
- Oxygen Saturation: Evaluate the efficiency of oxygen delivery to your muscles, providing insights to enhance stamina and performance during your exercises.
- Resting Pulse Rate: Track your heart rate at rest, offering insights into your cardiovascular fitness and recovery.
- Grip Strength: Assess overall strength and potential muscle imbalances, guiding a well-rounded strength training regime.
