Evals

In order to gauge the success of the i-tri program, the girls undergo a series of evaluations at the start of the program which are repeated again at the end.  Over the past two weeks the girls completed fitness evaluations, including a VO2 Max test, shuttle runs and a timed half mile run along with a swim evaluation and medical evaluations which were done compliments of Dr Alex Aponte & his staff at the Ed & Phyllis Davis Wellness Institute at Southampton Hospital.  Based on the extraordinary results of last years' pilot program, we expect the girls to show dramatic increases in their overall fitness levels and positive changes to their overall health, such as lowered blood pressure and an increase in muscle mass.  It is important and interesting to note that their is NO EXPECTATION for any of the girls to loose weight as a result of participating in i-tri- in fact, based on the results of last year, we completly expect ALL of the girls to actually GAIN weight, as a result of the tremendous growth (height) that happens during adolescence as well as the healthy addition of body fat that girls naturally put on during puberty.
