The evaluation includes the following:
- heart rate and blood pressure measurements
- body fat analysis
- aerobic capacity test measuring oxygen consumption (VO2max or submax test is given based on the person’s health)

Change for Menopause Program
The Creating Healthy Activity and Nutrition Goals for Empowering CHANGE program is designed to provide participants experiencing perimenopause or menopause with tools to build resilience, tackle obstacles, and improve lifestyle behaviors.
