Fitness tests outlined and results evaluated
As well as conducting tests for the 6 components I am trying to improve I decided to also monitor flexibility and balance to see if they went up due to increases or decreases in the other components. The tests I used for the main six components are described above in the health and skill related fitness sections and the tests I used for Flexibility and balance are described below.
Validity: The validity of a test assesses whether the test actually measures what it claims to measure.
Reliability: the reliability of a test considers whether the test will produce the same or similar results when the test is repeated and where there has been no change in fitness levels.
Flexibility test
- The sit and reach test- Start by sitting on the floor with shoes removed and feet flat against the table with legs straight. Reach forward and push as far as possible. The distance from the finger tips to the edge of the table is the score for that person. The sit and reach tests has an overhang of 15cm so a person who reaches 10cm scores 25cm.
