Several members of the CHEMP team, including PI's, grad and undergrad students, put a local girls' volleyball team through a variety of fitness tests in our McMaster labs last week.

The athletes, aged U16, attended the CHEMP Labs at Mac to measure their  level of fitness. Tests performed included measuring grip strength, bilateral sit and reach, standing long jump, and both aerobic (VO2max) and anaerobic (Wingate) fitness levels. Following the testing the CHEMP team produced report cards for each of the athlets. These included their results and statistics compared to both average females in their age group, and their teammates.
A good time was had by both participants and testers!
