Tests for components of fitness
Aerobic endurance- 20 Metre Multistage Fitness Test (bleep test)
The test is quite simple the subject runs to and fro between two lines 20 metres apart to the timing of a pre-recorded tape/CD. The subject is paced by an audible bleep that gets faster in one minute stages. The test finishes when the subject cannot keep up with the pace set by the recording.
Muscular endurance- Timed press ups/sit ups
These tests are based on the amount of sit ups or press ups a subject can do in a set period of time. The two most commonly used time period are 30 seconds and 1 minute. The test protocol is the same for both tests. Which one you do is often most dependent on which normative values you can get a hold of.
