Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each of the components of fitness

Power
To test power you would use the standing board jump to see the amount of explosive power in your legs.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose is to measure the explosive power in the legs.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
The athlete stands behind a line marked on the feet with his feet slightly part so that he is ready for jumping, then the athlete jumps with both feet and lands with both feet, this is done with the arms swinging the knees bending to drive the athlete forward. They jump 3 times in total making sure they do not fall over and the measurement is taken from behind the furthest foot back at the back of its heel. After they have done 3 they take the best score for themselves.
What equipment is needed?
Equipment that is needed is a tape measure to measure the distance jumped, non-slip floor for takeoff and also a marker for how far the athlete has jumped.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
Its quick and easy to set up and use as the is little amount of equipment.
How much does it cost?
It requires minimal and inexpensive equipment.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
Need to be able to get enough power in the legs when jumping and need to drive your arms forward to push you even further when jumping, also when landed need good balance because if you fall backwards slightly where ever your back foot lands tat where you measure from even if you didn't land there.
What practical value does the test have?
It helps identify if you need to work on leg power or the power coming from your arms that help you go even further. Also it helps you when having a run up jump you'll jump further as standing jump your jumping not as far as you would but because this test would help build power when running jumping you would jump even further than before.

Strength
To test strength you would use grip strength to see how much strength you have in your whole body.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose for the hand grip test is to measure the maximum isometric strength.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
The athlete holds the dynamometer with their strongest hand; the arm is set at a 90 degree angle and the elbow by the side of the body. If needed the handle can be adjusted and also the base should hold itself on the first metacarpal and the handle should rest on the middle four fingers. Next the subject squeezes the dynamometer with its maximum amount of effort and should be held for 5 seconds and there should be no other body movements other than your hand.
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is needed is a hand grip dynamometer.

Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each of the components of fitness

Speed
To test your speed you would use the 30 metre dash to see how fast you can go in a set distance.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose of the speed test is to determines how quick the athlete speed and acceleration is in 30 metres.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
This test involves the participant to run their maximum speed in 30 metres and their time will get recorded at the end of the 30 metres. The athlete starts from a stationary position with its foot behind one another and when the assistant says go the guy runs as fast as he can over 30 metres past the finish line trying to get his quickest time and once the athletes body touches the line the timer stops his stop watch. Afterwards the athlete would do this 2 more times, then we would calculate the mean by adding all 3 scores and dividing by 3 to get the athletes average time for the 30 metre dash.
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is needed is measuring tape or a marked track, an assistant, stop watch or timing gates, cone markers, flat and clear surface which is about 50 metres long.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
Its quick and easy to set up and use as there is little amount of equipment.
How much does it cost?
It requires minimal and inexpensive equipment.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
Need to have a good start and also knee and elbow at a 90 degree angle when they come over and opposite arm to opposite leg and also need good acceleration so that the subject can get up to its top speed quicker so that they can run the 30 metres in their quickest time possible.

What practical value does the test have?
Helps you recognise if your technique is good as improving your technique can help you run faster, for example when knee and arm comes up opposite arm to leg. Also it helps your acceleration making sure the reaction time is good so that they can get up to top speed quickly. Just helping the athlete to get up to top speed quicker.

Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each components of fitness

Muscular Endurance
To test your muscle endurance you would use one minute press to calculate how many strong you are over a long period of time whilst using weight.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose of the test is to see how strong your upper body muscle are for a long period of time at a high intensity. This test measures how strong your upper body muscles are when working continuosly for long periods of time.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
The athlete lies on the ground on a mat and and places their hands by their shoulders and straightens the arm. Afterwards they would lower the body until the elbow reaches a 90 degree angle, keeping their back and knees straight and then extend the arm to its original position. The athlete continuously do these press ups for a minute straight, trying to do as many press ups as they can or until they can do no more and are exhausted. Whilst the athlete is doing the press ups the assistant counts how manny press ups they do and has the stop watch to tell the participate when to start and finish the press ups
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is needed is a mat, an assistant, a stop watch and a recording sheet.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
The test is quick to perform and many subjects can be tested at once.
How much does it cost?
It requires minimal and inexpensive equipment.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
The test is easy, however someone might not be able to do a press up so would have to do a simpler version of press ups, instead of holding on your toes, they do press ups soon their knees to make it easier for them. Also need to be able to do a lot of press ups continuously in a set time so you may not be able to do as many even if you couldn't go for as long.
What practical value does the test have?
It helps the subjects muscular endurance, it improves their upper body strength to be working for a certain period without getting tired as easily.

Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each components of fitness

Body Composition
To test your body composition you would use the skin fold calipers/hip to waist ratio to check the percentage/amount of body fat in the body.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose for testing the body composition is to take skin fold measurements to determine the body fat composition. Its aim is to calculate the body fat level by the measurement of skin fold thickness
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
The guy who uses the calipers tests pinches the skin which should raise a double layer of skin and the underlying tissue but not the muscle. The tester then uses the calipers and applies it 1cm below and at a right angle to the pinch and this is then read in millimetres (mm)and then is taken two seconds later. Then this test should be done another 2 times and then afterwards in different part of the body that is located between the hip to waist, 3 times each for the certain part of the body that is taking its body fat level. Then to find the mean for each part add all the scores up and divide by the amount of times you have done the test, for example say if you had 9 different outcomes add all 9 then divide by 9 to get your mean score.
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is needed to calculate the level of body fat in the body is skin fold calipers, recording sheets and if needed tape measure and a marker pen.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
It is quick and easy way to calculate the body fat levels in the body
How much does it cost?
It requires minimal and inexpensive equipment.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
The skills needed is to be able to read the calipers on how much skin there is so that we can calculate the body fat. It is a lot simpler than other hydrostatic weighing and other body composition tests. But when pinching the skin need to make sure you grab no muscle because muscle weighs more than fat.
What practical value does the test have?
The practical value the test has is it identifies how much fat is in the body and it shows if the the athlete is eating and exercising well or not and if they need to gain or lose fat in the body.

Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each components of fitness

Aerobic Endurance
To test your aerobic endurance you would use the 12 minute cooper run to see how good your cardiovascular endurance is.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose for the 12 minute cooper run is to test aerobic fitness which is the ability of the body to use oxygen to power themselves whilst running. The 12 minute cooper run is a running test that improves your aerobic fitness and the athlete tries to cover as much distance as they can in 12 minutes.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
You would place markers in a designated spot which are at set intervals around a track or even a field in aid of measuring the completed distance so participants know where and how far to run. Then the athletes run or  if they have to walk for a constant 12 minutes and when this time is up you would record the distance the participant has travelled.
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is needed is a flat oval or a running track, marker cones, recording sheets and a stop watch.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
Its done for a short period of time, only done for 12 minutes and a large group can run at the same time making it quicker than people running individually,
How much does it cost?
It is very cheap.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
Need to be able to jog or run for 12 minutes without walking or stopping as that would not help your cardio. Also people may not be motivated to do it so they don't put in effort and also pacing and practice is required because you need to be able to run or jog at a constant pace meaning you won't get as tired quick and can cover a longer distance.
What practical value does the test have?
It ables the athlete to improve their cardiovascular endurance as they have to maintain running or jogging for 12 minutes non-stop meaning it's helping their lung capacity get bigger, meaning they last longer because they are fitter as they pump blood around the body quick meaning the red blood cells travel to the lungs quicker meaning  the athlete does not get tired easily.

Task 1- Describe one fitness test for each of the components of fitness

Flexibility
To test your flexibility you would use the sit and reach test to see how flexible the person is.
What is each test purpose and what does it measure?
The purpose for the sit and reach test is to calculate the persons flexibility of the persons reach and the athlete has three chances to get his best score out of three attempts. It measures the flexibility of the person how far they can reach forward but it specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings muscles. It is important and is used to stretch the lumbar lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower back pain as they are all tight and are needed to cause no injury or pain to this part of the body.
How do you set up and run each test step by step?
To set up a sit and reach test the equipment you will need is a sit and reach box. First of all the person measuring their flexibility takes their shoes off and then sits on the floor with their legs flat out straight touching the sit and reach box with the soles of their feet, with their knees locked and flat on the floor. This should be with palms facing downwards and the hands on one another or side by side. The person reaches forward along the measuring line as far as possible, however the hands can not reach further forward than one another, make sure the hands remain at the same level. After a few practice goes, the person then reaches out as far as they can but they have to hold it there for 1-2 seconds whilst the distance is recorded, this is so there are no jerky movements that would make the hand increase going forward or decrease how far they reached. Then the subject would do this another 2 times and record their results and calculate their average score by adding up all 3 of their scores they got then dividing by 3.
What equipment is needed?
The equipment that is need is a sit and reach box but if you are not able to get one, you can alternatively use a ruler and a step or a box.

Task 2- Now explain possible advantages and disadvantages for each of the 7 tests

How long does the test take?
It is a quick and easy way to calculate your flexibility.
How much does it cost?
It requires minimal and inexpensive equipment.
Skills needed to carry out the test?
The test is easy, however it is specific to the range of motion, muscles and joints of the lower back and hamstrings, it does not cover all aspects of the body on who flexible the body is, it targets a certain part of the body.
What practical value does the test have?
The practical helps to see how flexible an athlete is but a disadvantage about the subjects variation in arm, leg and trunk length, can comparisons between athletes confusing as people have shorter arms than one another so it does show if a persons more flexible than someone else because someone could have short arms meaning then can't reach as far.
