Health Optimisation Testing

Longevity, Performance & Wellness Assessments in Adelaide with Clinical Interpretation

Measure the baseline. Understand what it means. Know what to do next.

Clinician-led from start to finish

Every assessment is conducted and interpreted by a qualified and experienced Altaira Allied Health clinician. Depending on the assessment, your clinician may be an Exercise Physiologist, Dietitian or Physiotherapist.

Our qualified and experienced clinicians use evidence-informed assessment to help you understand your aerobic fitness, resting energy requirements, body composition, hydration-related measures, strength, balance and movement capacity.

You will not be left with a dashboard of unexplained numbers. Your results are considered alongside your goals, health history, lifestyle, training background and current capacity so you can make more informed decisions about exercise, nutrition, recovery and performance.

Your clinician will explain what your results mean and identify appropriate next steps. These may include exercise recommendations, nutrition support, a Physiotherapy pathway, a review assessment or referral to another health professional where appropriate.

4What is the difference between VO₂ max and VO₂ submax?

VO₂ max uses progressively increasing exercise intensity to assess maximal aerobic fitness, training zones and performance thresholds. VO₂ submax uses a lower-intensity protocol to estimate aerobic capacity and assess heart-rate response without requiring maximal effort.

5What is a BIVA body composition assessment?

BIVA is a bioelectrical impedance assessment that can provide information about body-composition indicators and hydration-related measures. Results are interpreted by a clinician alongside your goals and health history. Learn more about Body Composition Analysis.

6How long do assessments take?

Assessment times range from approximately 30 minutes to 90 minutes.

7Are assessments suitable for beginners?

Yes. VO₂ Submax may be an accessible starting point for beginners, general-population clients and active older adults. Suitability is confirmed through pre-assessment screening.

8Can athletes and sporting clubs book assessments?

Yes. Athlete assessments can include sport-specific protocols.
