At Activate Brain & Body Fitness, our comprehensive assessment process leverages cutting-edge science and technology to evaluate and enhance your physical and cognitive health. We utilize a range of cognitive assessments designed specifically for adults that assess various aspects of brain health. Our cognitive assessments for adults are designed to provide a baseline for brain health. By combining these cognitive assessments with physical fitness assessments, we create a holistic picture of your overall well-being.
This comprehensive process is repeated every 12 weeks, allowing us to track your progress in both cognitive and physical domains. We use the results to ensure proper adaptation of your training regimen and refine your personalized program for maximum results. Our approach not only enhances cognitive abilities but also promotes overall brain health, potentially slowing cognitive decline associated with aging.
We start with the Creyos Brain Health Assessment, a leading digital platform that measures critical cognitive functions like memory, attention, and reasoning. This assessment provides a snapshot of your brain’s current performance and serves as a benchmark to monitor improvements over time. Using SMARTFit Technology, we conduct Stroop , Flanker, and dual-task cost assessments to evaluate reaction time, focus, and the ability to multitask effectively. These measures highlight how dual-task training can enhance cognitive flexibility and executive function, which are vital for day-to-day decision-making and problem-solving.
Our Four Square Balance Assessment evaluates stability and coordination key to reducing fall risk and maintaining neuromuscular health. Mobility testing with Yogger’s Advanced Technology delivers precise insights int o flexibility and joint health, ensuring you can move comfortably and safely. Strength assessments for the upper and lower body measure functional capacity which is critical for maintaining independence and handling daily tasks. The MyZone Fitness Test assesses heart rate recovery, a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health and stress resilience.
The InBody 570 is a state-of-the-art, medical grade device that analyzes your body composition, including metrics such as muscle mass, fat percentage, visceral fat, and total body water. Unlike traditional scales that only measure weight, the InBody 570 offers a deeper understanding of your physical health by highlighting key indicators that influence overall wellness.
Tracking body composition changes is crucial for both brain and body health. Maintaining healthy muscle mass and reducing excess visceral fat are linked to better metabolic function, reduced inflammation, and improved cardiovascular health-all essential for optimal cognitive performance. Adequate hydration levels, another metric tracked by the InBody 570, are critical for brain function, supporting memory, focus, and mood regulation. By regularly assessing body composition, we can ensure that your fitness and nutrition programs are driving meaningful progress, enhancing both physical vitality and mental resilience.
These assessments are grounded in research, including Activate Brain & Body’s partnership study with Miami University, which demonstrated significant cognitive gains in memory, processing speed, and problem-solving ability through a combined physical and cognitive training regimen. Creyos and SMARTFit both emphasize the adaptability of the brain and body when engaged in targeted, dual-task exercises, showing how regular cognitive training can enhance neuroplasticity, working memory, and attentional control.
By reassessing every 12 weeks, we track improvements not only in strength, mobility, and endurance but also in cognitive metrics like memory recall, mental agility, and multitasking skills. This iterative process ensures you’re consistently advancing toward better brain and body health, empowering you to maintain independence, resilience, and vitality.
