Fitness Evaluations

• Muscle endurance
• Flexibility
• Cardio respiratory endurance
• Body composition
• Physical capabilities medical conditions

3
Physical Fitness

• Strength, endurance, and mental well-being
• Beneficial for daily, recreational, and
  competitive activities

4
Competitive vs. General Fitness

• Competitive required to be competitive in
  sports activities
• Higher standard
• General ability to perform daily activities

5
Muscle Endurance Evaluations

• Measured by how many repetitions are performed
  per unit of time
• Or
• How long muscle contraction can be held

6

• Repetition the completion of a designed
  movement through the entire range of motion (ROM)
• Contraction the shortening or tightening of a
  muscle

Flexibility Evaluations

• Sit and Reach
• -- trunk flexion
• Back Bend
• -- trunk extension

10
Evaluating Cardiorespiratory Endurance

• Cardiorespiratory endurance measuring
  resting heart rate and recovery rate
• Resting heart rate - of times heart beats in 1
  minute (no physical activity)
• Count pulse for 10 seconds then X6
• Recovery heart rate - of times heart beats in
  1 minute 60 seconds after 3 or more minutes of
  exercise
• Count pulse for 10 seconds then X6

11
Cardiovascular Evaluations

• Step test
• Take resting heart rate
• Use step 12 inches high
• Step up on box (one foot then the other) then
  back down
• Continue 3 min
• Wait 60 seconds
• Take recovery heart rate

12
Body Composition

• 1. Body Composition measure of percentage of
  body fat.
• 2. Lean body weight weight of body after fat
  weight has been subtracted
• Found several ways
• Calipers
• Underwater weighing
• BMI (body mass index) uses height and
  weight chart
