Physical Capacity Assessment

Meaning

Physical Capacity Assessment is a systematic, objective evaluation of an individual’s functional reserve across key physiological domains, including cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. This clinical process utilizes standardized testing protocols, such as VO2max testing or bioimpedance analysis, to quantify the body’s ability to perform work and recover from stress. The results provide a crucial baseline for tailoring hormonal and metabolic interventions to the individual’s current functional status. This assessment moves beyond simple disease screening to quantify vitality and resilience.
