Sports Centre hold Health Assessment Day

The Fitness Team at Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre (STFSC) recently hosted a Health Assessment Day for UCLan staff and students.

Following the success of previous Assessment Days, the team organised a wide range of different tests including Body Fat Percentage, Waist to Hip ratio and Body Mass Index.

Carrying out regular health tests allows individuals to set specific goals and targets for themselves, whilst allowing them to understand the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.

A range of people attended, all of whom had different targets and goals in mind.

Some individuals, by using the results of the tests, set weight loss and general fitness goals, whilst others used the tests to track their current progress as an athlete or fitness professional.

The event was very popular, with all the available slots being filled within a few days. As a result of this the team will be looking to run another Assessment Day later in Semester Two.
