GCSE PE - FITNESS TESTING (Part 1/2) - Health-Related Components

  Strengths ;

Strengths and weaknesses and design their training programs accordingly next we'll look at the 30 meter sprint test which can be used to measure the speed of 30 meter distance must be accurately marked and a stopwatch is used to measure the time taken of course this method relies on the accuracy of the person doing the timing so a much more reliable method involves the use of timing gates which automatically start or stop the timer as they are crossed finally, we have the sergeant's vertical. 

Momentum;

Jump test which is used to assess power begins by facing a wall and stretching both arms above your head to measure your standing height this can be marked on the wall with a piece of chalk or a jump board if you have access next,  you turn sideways to the wall with both feet together jump as high as you can using your arms to generate momentum and touch the wall at your highest point.

 Established;

Dist ance between the two marks can then be measured and your score compared with established norms again it's important to note that this test focuses primarily on lower body power and therefore may not be valid for athletes such as javelin throwers and that concludes part one on fitness testing during the next lesson, we'll finish off the topic by looking at the test protocols for the four skill-related components of fitness and studying the reasons for carrying out fitness tests as always I hope you found this lesson useful and I'll see you in the next one.
