Health Calculators
Find several different health calculators for your health care and fitness
needs!
Blood Pressure Calculator -
Given your systolic and diastolic blood pressure (i.e., the two numbers
your doctor gives you), the FitWise Fitness Calculator displays the
values on two scales that classify your blood pressure (e.g., "Normal").
You can then drag the "needle" in the scales to see how changes in your
systolic and diastolic values would change your classification.
Body Mass Index Calculator -
Given your height and weight, the FitWise Fitness Calculator displays
your Body Mass Index (BMI) and your BMI classification (e.g., "Normal").
You can then drag the "needle" in the scale to see how changes in your
weight effect your BMI classification.
HeartRate Zone Calculator -
Given your maximum heart rate (which can be automatically calculated
based on your age) and the option of entering a resting heart rate, the
FitWise Fitness Calculator displays your percent-of-maximum heart rate
at various exercise heart rates (and vice versa).
Ideal Weight Calculator -
Given your height, the FitWise Fitness Calculator calculates your ideal
weight based on the World Health Organization's standard classification
of obesity.
Measure Heart Rate Calculator -
Given the number of heart beats during a specific time period (and with
assistance counting the heart beats), the FitWise Fitness Calculator
displays your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).
Optimum Weight Calculator -
Given your current weight, your current percent body fat, and your
desired percent body fat, the FitWise Fitness Calculator calculates your
optimum weight (i.e., the amount you would need to weigh if you were to
gain/lose fat to achieve your desired percent body fat).
Percent Body Fat
(Circumference) Calculator -
Given various measurements (e.g., height, weight, waist, etc.), the
FitWise Fitness Calculator displays your predicted percentage of body
fat.
The “Iliac” field refers to the “iliac crests” (i.e., the wing-like
bones on the top of the pelvis). Thus, the Iliac measurement is the
measurement around your “hip bones.” (This is the term used by the
American Council on Exercise's (ACE's) Personal Trainer Manual, which is
where we got the formula).
Percent Body Fat
(YMCA) Calculator -
Given your gender, your waist (in inches), and your current weight (in
lbs.), the FitWise Fitness Calculator displays your predicted percentage
of body fat using the YMCA method.
Risk of Chronic Disease
Calculator -
Given your gender and age, and the circumference of you waist and hips,
the FitWise Fitness Calculator displays your risk of chronic disease.
You can then adjust the waist and hip measurements to see how they
effect your risk.
