Module Title Assessment of Fitness Components
I. LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completion of this module, you should be able to:
1. Identify the different means to develop own physical fitness.
2. Develop skill to assess one‘s own physical fitness.
3. Determine the level of fitness of students.
4. Interpret the results of fitness evaluation.
5. Realize the importance of fitness assessment prior to physical exercise program.
II. INTRODUCTION
An objective evaluation of your current fitness status is important prior to beginning an
exercise-training program. This evaluation provides valuable information concerning your fitness
strengths and weaknesses and enables you to set reasonable fitness goals. Further, testing your
initial fitness level also provides a benchmark against which you can compare future evaluations.
Re-testing provides motivating feedback as your fitness program progresses. This unit presents a
battery of physical fitness tests that can assess your fitness level. These tests are designed to evaluate
each of the major components of health-related physical fitness such as: cardio respiratory fitness,
muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

4.3. Cardiovascular endurance - stop watch, step box (softdrink case) or stairs
4.4. Muscular Strength - mat
Observe the following prior to actual day of testing.
1. The testing area should be safe and free from obstructions.
2. The same equipment should be used in the pretesting and post testing.
3. The test requiring cardiovascular endurance and those other tests which involve the same muscle
groups should not be done in succession
