The document discusses two tests used to measure agility and aerobic endurance. The Illinois agility test measures agility by having a person run around cones starting from a lying down position. The Multi Stage Fitness Test measures aerobic endurance over 20 meters between two cones as audio cues play, requiring continuous running. A second test, the Forestry Step Test, is also described for measuring aerobic endurance but involves stepping on and off a bench for only one minute, making it less valid and reliable than the Multi Stage Fitness Test.

test agility. The test is completed by starting off by lying face down then running around the cones till the end. This is a valid test as it does test agility. This is a reliable test if done indoors as weather can affect results. This is a practical test as it is cost effective and is easy to set up as the only equipment needed are cones, measuring tape and a stopwatch. Aerobic Endurance: Aerobic endurance is the ability to supply oxygen to the body during physical activity for long periods of time.
A marathon runner would need aerobic
endurance as they will be running for a long period of time.
The MSFT (Multi Stage Fitness Test) is
one of the tests used to test aerobic endurance. The test is completed with a 20 metre gap between two cones and the person will have to keep running between each cones after each sound is played. This is a valid test as it does test aerobic endurance. This is a reliable test if done indoors as weather can impact results. This is a practical test as it is cost effective and easy to set up as the equipment needed are audio equipment measuring tape and cones, also a group of people can complete this test.
The FST (Forestry Step Test) is another
test used to test aerobic endurance. The test is completed with a person going on and off a bench for a minute. This is not really a valid test as it is only done for a minute. This is not really a reliable test due to the fact that it is only done for a minute and weather can also affect results. This is not really a practical test as the equipment needed are a bench (33cm for females and 40cm for males) and a metronome which should be calibrated to 90bpm, also this test can be done by one person at a time.
