fitness test
components of fitness
-
muscular endurance - The ability for the muscle to contract for a period of time without tiring (rowing)
co-ordination - The ability to link all the parts of the body & different senses into one efficient movement (tramoplinist timing)
-
cardiovascular endurance - The hearts ability to deliver blood to working muscles and their ability to use it (long distance)
-
-
-
agility - The ability to move & change direction (at speed) whilst maintaining control (rugby players)
speed - The ability to move all or parts of the body as quickly as possible (tennis player reaching drop shot)
test procedures
flexibility: warm up & remove shoes // stick ruler to box leaving 15cm hanging off the end // pike fold as far as possible hold for 2 seconds // record distance on ruler // repeat 3 times
muscular endurance:
sit ups: warm up // set metronome for 20bpm // lay flat on the mat and slide hands up knee caps in time // keep going until failure // record successful sit ups
press ups: warm up // athlete lays on the floor hands by shoulders // bend arm until 90 // keep going until failure // record no. press ups
co-ordination: warm up // stand 2m away from smooth wall // throw ball in right catch in left // do this for 30s // record catches
muscular strength:
hand grip dynamometer: hold dynamometer in dominant hand // bend arm to 90 // adjust grip size // squeeze with maximum force // score recorded // repeat 3 times
1RM: bench press using correct technique // if completed attempt heavier weight // if unsuccessful use lighter weight // weight lifted divided by weight of participant
cardiovascular endurance: warm up // measure 20m strip // start cd // athlete can't leave mark until the beep // if unsuccessful they have 2 further attempts
power: vertical jump: stand side to wall, feet flat // reach up with arm closest to wall // mark with pencil // jump as high as possible and mark with a pencil // distance between 2 marks standing long jump: lay measuring tape from one mat to the other // participant stands toes up to mat with feet flat // jump as far as possible // measure from closest point
balance: warm up // stand comfortably on both feet // lift one knee up to touch the knee cap of the other // lift standing heal off the floor // test stops when heal drops or moves from knee cap // repeat for other foot
reaction time: hold ruler inbetween outstretched index finger & thumb so 0cm is in line with them // catch ruler as quickly after release // record distance from top of thumb to base of ruler // repeat 3 times
agility: warm up // set up cones // athlete lays flat on the floor // jump up & run the circuit // assistant stops when athlete's torso crosses the line
speed: warm up // measure 30m track // sprint as quickly as possible // timer stop when torso crosses the line
reliability, validity & practicality
-
Practicality: whether a test can be conducted in the correct environment & if the equipment is available

principals of training
SPoRT
Progressive overload: where an athlete continuouslly works harder than before to gain & increase fitness
Reversability: any advantage gained by training will be lost when you stop for illness, injury or missed sessions over a period of time
