Why have a Skinfold Body Fat Analysis?
-
- Body fat analysis looks at the location of your body fat in order to determine your specific biological signature.
- The body stores fat in particular locations based on the internal chemistry of our hormones; for example, plenty of research has shown the correlation between abdominal fat and the level of our primary stress hormone, cortisol.
- The analysis can help determine your hormone profile by measuring how much fat you store in specific areas of the body.
Included in the skinfold analysis?
-
- Skinfold measurements at 10-12 specific sites.
- Accurate body fat percentage (using up to 8 different calculation methods).
- Analysis of personalized data (what are your problem sites and what does it mean).
- Informational handout of what you can do to fix the problem with food, supplements, exercise and lifestyle practices.

Fitness Assessment
“A fitness assessment is the best way to objectively determine where your fitness level is currently and determine where you have improved.” – Aaron Tews
Do you consider yourself a dedicated exerciser or a couch potato? When you are in pursuit of superior physical fitness and optimal body mechanics or want to start a fitness program, an assessment or screen will help guide you to the next level of physical fitness.
The purpose of our Fitness Assessment Services is to determine where you are in your pursuit of being physical active, and then to make recommendations on how you can progress to the next level. Our assessment services will provide you with objective information from which to become deeply involved in the health and function of your body.
Full Fitness Assessment: This assessment covers all the key areas of good physical conditioning: cardiovascular (also known as aerobic) fitness, strength (which includes muscular power and endurance), body composition and flexibility. We also look at how often you exercise, whether or not you enjoy it, and what your favourite activities are. We give you a summary of how well you are doing in each of these key areas, followed by specific suggestions on improving where needed.

FMS – Functional Movement Screen
We, at KINESIOLOGISTS.CA, understand the benefit of the Functional Movement Screen. That why we are certified in the FMS protocol in Vancouver. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is the product of an exercise philosophy known as Functional Movement Systems. This exercise philosophy and corresponding set of resources is based on sound science, years of innovation, and current research.
How it Works – Simplifying Movement
Put simply, the FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness.
The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to corrective exercises which restore mechanically sound movement patterns.
Exercise professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and to identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual.
What it Does – Widespread Benefits
The FMS simplifies the concept of movement and its impact on the body. Its streamlined system has benefits for everyone involved – individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians.
-
- Communication – The FMS utilizes simple language, making it easy for individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians to communicate clearly about progress and treatment.
- Evaluation – The screen effortlessly identifies asymmetries and limitations, diminishing the need for extensive testing and analysis.
- Standardization – The FMS creates a functional baseline to mark progress and provides a means to measure performance.
- Safety – The FMS identifies dangerous movement patterns to be addressed. It also indicates an individual’s readiness to perform exercise so realistic goals are set and achieved.
- Corrective Strategies – The FMS applies to any fitness level, simplifying corrective strategies of a wide array of movement issues. It also identifies specific exercises based on individual FMS scores to instantly create customized treatment plans.
