Evaluating fitness of performer

Most types of fitness can be assessed using recognised tests.

  • Cardiovascular endurance/stamina 鈥 Cooper 12 minute run or Multi Stage Fitness Test (MSFT)
  • Muscular endurance 鈥 press up test or sit up test
  • Speed 鈥 30 m sprint test
  • Strength 鈥 1 rep max or handgrip dynamometer
  • Flexibility 鈥 sit and reach test
  • Agility 鈥 Illinois agility run

Look back at the Health, fitness and exercise study guide for how to administer the tests.

A fitness test results chart will show a performer which fitness types are their strengths (the tests they scored well in) and which are their weaknesses (the tests they didn't score well in).

A fitness evaluation chart can be produced from the fitness test results, for example:
