January 26, 1995: Vol26n14: Spring Fitness Fair set for Feb. 10 in Alumni

Think fitness for 1995 -- and do something about it! Recreation and
Intramural Services has a program to help you begin.
	The UB FIT Faculty/Staff Spring Fitness Fair is scheduled for
Friday, Feb. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Alumni Arena gymnastics
room (Room 175) on the North Campus.
	The Fair includes a health screening process to assess
individual cardiovascular health as well as to identify other
potential risk factors. Fee for the health screening is $25, which
includes a UB FIT T-shirt.
	The screening, which takes about an hour, covers
cardiovascular risk analysis, cholesterol, percent body fat, resting
blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index, height and weight, grip
strength, submaximal aerobic capacity test and self-directed exercise
program handouts, where appropriate, with counseling.
	The UB FIT program is designed to meet the fitness needs of
individuals who are motivated toward the improvement of general health
and well-being through exercise.
	The program's options feature physical fitness testing and
fitness programming, in addition to health screening. It is available
to all UB faculty, staff, retirees, alumni and the Buffalo community.
Choices range from the highly structured to self-directed exercise
programs.
	Individuals found to be at risk for cardiovascular disease
will be directed into additional testing options such as physical
fitness testing, functional capacity evaluation and medical
evaluation.
	The program is jointly sponsored by the Division of Athletics,
Department of Physical Therapy and Exercise Science, the Living Well
Center and the UB Sports Medicine Institute.

Alumni Arena. Those who would like to take part in the Fitness Fair
are advised to register early as spaces are limited. Last year, more

screening opportunities.
