Health Checks
The University of Cambridge Sports Service now works with Healthy Nudge to provide a Mobile Health Check Service.
Health Checks measure:
- Total Cholesterol (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.

New! Nutrition & Weight Management by Healthy Nudge!
Healthy Nudge are now delighted to offer Nutrition & Weight Management support.
This 90 minute appointment takes you through the Standard Health Check measuring your Body Composition, Blood Pressure, Grip Strength, Oxygen Saturation, Resting Heart Rate and Peak Flow.
You'll will complete an 24 Hour Activity and Nutrition recall, inputting the details into an energy balance calculator. Using the data from your body composition test, you'll be able to see your body's surplus/deficit position and how that currently aligns to your weight management goals.
You'll discuss and discover how small and medium changes to diet and lifestyle can positively impact your energy balance.
It's not often known that muscle mass is the secret key to keeping your your metabolism active. The Nutrition & Weight Management Service will also provide you with a set of Resistance Bands (ideal for strength training at home) to take away along with three introductory strength sessions prescribed through the Move+ Health App.
You'll discuss and be provided with a copy of the current UK government guidance on eating healthy.
