Fitness Testing

These are the fitness tests we will be using for the different components of fitness:

Flexibility - Sit and Reach
Strength - Grip Dynamometer
Cardiovascular Endurance - Multi-Stage Fitness Test (Beep Test) and the Cooper Run (12min Run)
Speed - 35m Sprint (running start)
Agility - Illinois Agility Run
Power - Vertical Jump Test
Muscular Endurance - 1min Sit Up Tset & 1min Press Up Test

Baseline/Normative Data - So we can measure our performance against others
Practicality - What do we need and how do we set up the tests
Validity -Does the test actually test the component of fitness we want it to. What else might it test?
Reliability - Are the results accurate? Why might they be wrong?
