CHISM Paediatric Fitness Assessment Centre

What does it do?

The fitness assessment centre at CHISM measures muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness in children. These measurements provide a baseline to guide exercise prescription, with follow-up testing to determine response to a training program.

Exercise testing can also be performed in children with chronic disease or disability to determine a child's response to treatment protocols or to determine measurments in fitness with time.

Who should be referred?

• Elite and non-elite childhood athletes
• children with chronic disease deemed suitable by their specialist physician for exercise testing
