Muscle Strength, Muscle Health and the Impact of Clinical Testing.
“Poor muscle strength and function (sarcopenia) are common and linked with major adverse outcomes, yet they are often overlooked in clinical practice. Improved muscle health screening and assessment - including strength testing - is essential to identify risks early and target exercise interventions effectively.”

When you work with us at CCA we begin our value-based services with clinical testing so we can set baselines and targets. No guesswork. Just informed, targeted data collection.
Through a series of clinically relevant assessments led by Accredited Exercise Physiologists, we measure key markers including:
Muscle strength and muscle health
Gait and balance
Cardiovascular fitness and risk factors
Bone, joint and metabolic
These assessments give us a clear baseline, allowing us to track your progress over time and refine your program with precision.
Why does this matter? Without testing, exercise is general. With testing, it becomes precision medicine.
Are you ready to understand your baseline and take a proactive step toward a longer, healthier life? Call us on 08 9385 1430 and our team will be happy to guide you to the right testing start point for your individual needs.

Three quarters of older Australians say they’d be “very likely” to take action if they learned they were at risk of sarcopenia through health screening – and another 20% say they’d be somewhat likely, recently published research (2025) shows. Professor Robin Daly led the study and leads the Musculoskeletal Health and Mobility Research Group at Deakin University’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences.
