Chair Stand Observation

Six different subjects all between the age of 21-25 from all different physical levels performed four experiments. Each experiment consisted of two sessions a warm-up and lifting both a 10 lbs and 15 lbs dumbbell with a two-minute break between the two loads. The warm-ups were bicep stretches, which involve three different stretches and lasted for about 30 seconds each for a two-minute stretch, cardio, which included step up until max heart rate was

This result shows that he bad with he’s coordination as he only reached the average result because this was he’s best result after trying this test 3 times.

Introduction: This test is for a position that requires lifting packages up to 40 pounds unassisted or 80 pounds assisted.

As an individual who does not exercise on a regular basis, my results overall were quite poor, with a post-test average percentage of 32.5%, but it was still an improvement over my pre-test average of 22.9%. To analyse these results, I shall begin with the smaller components, to get a closer look at my shortcomings, improvements and why my results are generally unsatisfactory.

To begin the participant were split into 5 groups and each participant participated in the lab unless they have no cleared their PARQ+ form (Table 1). Next the participants age in years (yr), height in centimeters (cm) with no shoes on, Body Mass in kilograms (kg) with light clothing on and no shoes, and Gender I was measured. Each participant then warmed up on the Monark bike for 5 minutes (mins) at 80 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 1.5 kilopond’s (kp) before they participated in isometric dynamometry. Then the participants sat on the stool and the adjustable strap was attached to the right ankle. The line pull that is attached to the participants right ankle and the stool was then examined to make sure it was parallel to the ground or horizontal, and the participants ankle was place in the proper

I instructed Ellison to imagine a straight line from his toes about 20 feet out. Ellison advised he could see the line. I asked Ellison to place his left foot on that line and place his right foot in front of his left foot heel-to-toe. I demonstrated the instruction to Ellison. I advised Ellison to then take 9 heel-to-toe steps forward keeping the lead foot on the line, taking a series of small steps and then take 9 heel-to-toe steps back. I asked Ellison if he understood and he then began the test. Ellison couldn't maintain heel-to-toe steps taking 3 steps forward and 3 steps back. I instructed Ellison to perform the test taking 9 heel-to-toe steps forward and 9 heel-to-toe steps back that I performed and explained to him. Ellison failed to maintain heel-to-toe through out the steps 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Ellison stepped off line on the 3rd step Ellison failed to take a series of smalls steps as instructed. Ellison failed to maintain heel-to- toe steps 1,2,3,4,5,6 and stopped at the 6th step turning around thinking the test was done. I advised Ellison to nine and he only counted to six. Ellison finished the test without maintaining heel-to-toe on step 7-8-9. Ellison stepped off line on the 9th step Ellison performed the incorrect number of steps and used his arms as balance throughout the test raising his arms more than 6

I think the major reasons for this improvement is the dry land work that I participated in during my high school swim season. Theses workouts focused on building abdominal strength and muscular endurance. The next fitness test was the push up test, my baseline for pushups in September was ten push ups. My score increased to twelve. Although it was not as much of large improvement as my sit-ups, I still think it reflected the strength I had gained throughout the high school swimming season. Following the push up test was the pacer test. On my first time running the pacer test I finished the test at fifty-two lengths of the gym. Last week, I finished sixty lengths of the gym. I was proud of my accomplishment because I think it demonstrated my increased endurance over the past three months of training. My endurance increased because of interval training at practice along with running outside the pool. My last two two fitness tests were the sit and reach test and the trunk lift. Both of these tests work on flexibility which tends to be one of my weaknesses. At the beginning of the year on the sit and reach test I got sixteen inches on both legs. At the end of the year I finished with

Their methods included putting motocross riders under the same set of physical tests and measurements multiple times, but under different amounts of sleep. The first test allowed the eight participants each a full ten hours of sleep the night before the tests. They were then put through basic strength, balance, and maximum anaerobic power tests that each concentrated on one separate ability. This helped the tests become much more sensitive. It also made the results of the tests much easier to comprehend. The second test allowed the participants only six hours of sleep. The results

In my first trial, it took nine minutes and forty seconds to complete one mile. I did twenty-two pushups, twenty-five curls up, and my stretching result are: 14 on right and 15 on my left. In my second trial, all my task improves other than curl up which stays the same. My mile time decrease by seventeen seconds, becoming nine minutes and twenty-three second. The other result are twenty-five push-ups,

As with the previous two phases the athlete will undergo another series of assessments. This time however the assessments will be different. Whereas before we were looking at areas of explosive strength in sprinting and weighted exercises, this time the emphasis will be placed on cardiovascular endurance. The assessment we will be primarily focused on will be a 1.5 mile run for time and heart rate. The reason we are focused on heart rate is to find his optimal heart rate for prolonged distance. Using a heart monitor we will have him preform the test three time and average of the three heart rates will be the target number. He will of course be allowed a 10 beats per minute cushion to allow for factors that are beyond our control like atmospheric issues such as heat and humidity, and any delayed onset muscle soreness(fitnessschoolbook). Again once all the data has been analyzed we will begin the last phase of the training regime.

At 4 months the FBF group improved greater than the control group with a mean difference of 4.3 on the Physical Functional Performance Test. The FBF group also performed better than the AE group with a mean difference of 3.1 on the same test. Conflicting to their hypotheses the AE group did not show more improved results compared to the control group in the Physical Functional Performance Test. The results showed no difference in improvement on the Functional Reach Test for any of the groups at any point in the study. The AE group showed the greatest improvement of all the groups for walking economy, which means the participants had a reduced energy cost when walking. Surprisingly only the FBF

My partner, Gabby Chavez, had an overall good form. Her head didn’t move from side to side. Gabby’s jaw was clenched the entire time she was running, while it should be relaxed. Her breathing was rhythmical and her arms were bent at a 90-degree angle. She had a proper leg stride distance. Her hands were held loosely not clenched. Gabby’s feet was striking at the heel, not at the mid foot. Her feet weren’t slapping and they weren’t lifting to the butt. Her body also wasn’t erect leaning slightly forward. However, her shoulders and neck didn’t look relaxed while she was running. The improvement she has to make is to make sure her shoulders, neck, and jaw is relaxed while running. Nonetheless, Gabby had an overall good running form.

I decided to choose the sprint test for my client Reece is because my client plays basketball at a performance level, in such a sport acceleration is very important this is because player have to be quick on their feet for fast breaks, getting back on defence and outwitting an opponent. Most running is conducted over a short distance. The reason why I also picked the sprint test is because he also does athletics the reason why he also needs this trait is because Athletes who can move faster than their opponents have an advantage. For example, a faster athlete may be able to finish the race at a faster time. This test is carried out in a number of stages which are a properly carried out warm up, a partner to measure 35 metres preferably with cones the athlete should then get into sprinting position and when the partner yells go the athlete would then go on to running 35 meters this test would need to be carried out 3 times it is acceptable if a break is taken

Over the 6 weeks my specific training programe help me improve in each of these test. My post test showed the result of –

It doesn’t take time to perform all the individual needs to be is sit down legs touching the front of the box and stretch as far as possible without bending the legs to see how far the individual can reach. The test requires an assistant to make sure that the individual is performing the workout properly to reduce any risk of getting injured and also to read the results. The disadvantages of doing the sit and reach test is that it is related to muscle pain due to the tightness in the lower back and hamstrings it can help to determine a person’s risks of injury and future pain (32). There are variations in length of arms and legs so comparisons between individuals can be misleading and not accurate, it also doesn’t measure flexibility in other parts of the body except for the lower back and the hamstrings. The test can’t be done in all environments because equipment is needed to perform the
