In order to perform the test the course needs to be 10 metres in length and 5 metres in width, the start and finish point should be 5 metres apart. Four cones should be placed in the corners of the course, two to mark the start and finish and two to mark the turning points. Four more cones should be placed running down the length of the course each 3.3 metres part. 
Before the test can commence the runner must place their head on the start line and their hand near their stomach, while being on their stomach. Then the stopwatch holder will indicate the runner can start. The runner must sprint the length of the of the course to the 10 metre line, then sprint to the furthest middle cone then slalom up the middle cones twice. Then sprint to the 10 metre line. Then the finish line. The test is very quick depending on the amount of reps. ]]> 2016-09-29 10:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/127200455 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128697300 2016-10-06 06:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128697300 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128701798 'The Illinois agility test' measures both speed and agility. Also the turning ability can be measured.]]> 2016-10-06 07:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128701798 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128703540 Advantages:
The test is easy to set up and run because the only equipment required are cones and the course relatively simple in structure. This means it's portable. Also, the runners ability to turn in different angles and directions is tested.

Disadvantages:
Both change in footwear and surface can create varying results because some surfaces provide more grip than other which is important for turning and slalom. ]]> 2016-10-06 07:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/128703540 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134483338 The test is done by performing as many Standard military push-ups with only the hands and the toes touching the floor. Women can also use bent knees if they choose. Hands must  be on either side of the chest and keep your back straight. Lower the chest to the floor,  at the same level every time and elbows must be bent at a right angle when in the lowest position. ]]> 2016-11-01 14:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134483338 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134501572 2016-11-01 14:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134501572 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134504115 Advantages:
The test is extremely simple as only a stopwatch or clock is the only equipment necessary except for a matt but this is optional, which also means the test is very cheap and can be performed anywhere. Also this test can be timed and scored without a partner.

Disadvantages:
There aren't any disadvantages due to the simplicity and effectiveness. ]]> 2016-11-01 15:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134504115 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134963487 The purpose of the 1 minute push-up test is to test muscular endurance in the upper-body.]]> 2016-11-03 01:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134963487 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134964519 Is one of the most common test for aerobic endurance due to its simplistic, it is when participants run for 12 minutes while trying to run as far as possible during this time.

Many people can be tested at once and it is very cheap to set up because only a running track/ flat surface, cones and a stopwatch are the only equipment necessary.

Disadvantages:
Requires practice in order to learn technique because of the ratio between preserving energy and going fast also results can vary depending on motivation. ]]> 2016-11-03 01:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134966608 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134986865 The purpose is to test aerobic endurance]]> 2016-11-03 06:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134986865 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134987133 2016-11-03 06:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134987133 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134987340
Using a Sit and Reach box and sitting on the floor with fully extended legs together.

If done correctly slight pain should be felt in the hamstrings and lumbar region. ]]> 2016-11-03 06:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134987340 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/134988621 Advantages:
Its one of the most common Flexibility tests because of its simplicity and portability ( it fits in a car ). Also a short amount of time required to perform the test.

Disadvantages:
The sit and reach box is expensive, it only test lower back and hamstrings and result change due to length of limbs

When using the tester to pinch the skin the norm is to perform the test on the right side of the body and it is important not to pinch the muscle, this will lead to false measurements. The callipers are then applied 1 cm below and at right angles to the pinch, the reading should be in millimetres. This test should be performed twice and a mean should be found but if the two reading are different by quit a margin then a then a third reading is required.]]> 2016-11-03 08:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/135002056 16002176 https://padlet.com/16002176/1qlebbz41jj5/wish/135024259 The purpose of the skinfold test determine body composition,
