Healthy Team
Physical Fitness Evaluation
All Healthy Team participants are required to
have a health screening prior to and upon completion of the event.
Participants will be screened for blood pressure, weight, body fat
content, blood cholesterol and HDL. The blood testing procedure will
be conducted at Griffin Hospital. A step-test will be used to
determine cardiovascular fitness. Points will be awarded for
improvements in these tested areas. Extra points will also be
awarded for additional lifestyle modifications. Please see
Healthy
Team Bonus Points for details.
Post-test Requirements: All paperwork (photocopies, diaries, etc.)
must be submitted at the post-test. No faxes or late submissions
