UT Arlington is offering high-tech aerobic fitness and body composition assessments to the public and the campus community as part of a new program to encourage health and wellness and give students hands-on experiences.
MavFit will provide various levels of fitness testing for the public and UT Arlington community.
Through the MavFit program, the Department of Kinesiology has begun offering fee-based services such as VO2max testing, which shows the maximum amount of oxygen the body can take in and use during exercise, and DEXA Scans, which can identify a person's percentage of fat mass and lean muscle mass.
Many of the tests available are similar to those used in fitness and wellness facilities or hospital-based cardiopulmonary departments . places where graduates with kinesiology degrees may end up working. MavFit fees range from $25 to $90, depending on the assessment requested.
