Vitality Center

Vitality is an important issue in our society. How can you ensure that you stay vital and fit and avoid becoming ill and dropping out? How can you continue to function as well as possible in society? How can you age healthily? And how can you keep doing as much as possible for as long as possible? Regular measurements will help you get a handle on changes in your functional health.

At SOMT University of Physiotherapy we have scientific and specialized knowledge about human movement and we believe it is important to contribute to a healthy and vital society. That is why our vitality center is open to individuals and to companies. Here we offer measurements that register how fit and vital someone is, how well someone can function, but also whether there are risks of becoming less vital. We call this measuring functional health.

In our vitality center, we are currently conducting a long-term study of 2,500 Amersfoort residents over the age of 55. With this study we are looking for predictive factors for healthy aging. We are now putting this knowledge to work for you as well, if you want to know more about your own vitality or the vitality of your employees.

What do we measure in the vitality center?

Vitality is a broad term, in which we at SOMT University of Physiotherapy specialize in functional health. We can measure this functional health extensively in our vitality center with as many as seven different factors.
  • Cognitive ability and vulnerability
  • Cardiovascular and pulmonary capacity
  • Nutrition and lifestyle
  • Osteoporosis and muscle mass
  • Strength, endurance and speed
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Mobility of spine and joints
All measurements are scientifically based and performed by trained researchers. If you opt for the heart, vascular and lung capacity measurement (the cycling test) it is always linked to a visit to the doctor. After the measurements you will immediately receive a report with your personal results. In it we also explain what these results mean and give advice.
