Health-Related Fitness

1. BODY COMPOSITION – is the

body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free
mass
a. BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Classification
Weight (Kg.)2 Below 18.5 Underweight
Height (m) 18.5 – 24.9 Normal
25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
30.0 - above Obese
b. WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
to measure visceral fat which contributes to
more risk of cardiovascular disease and
diabetes than fat located in other areas

MEN WOMEN
Risk Centimeter Inches Centimeter Inches
Very High >120 >47 >110 >43.5
High 100 - 120 39.5 - 47 90 - 109 35.5 – 43
Normal 102 40 88 34.6
Low 80 - 99 31.5 - 39 70 - 89 28.5 – 35
Very Low <80 <31.5 <70 <28.5
2. FLEXIBILITY is the ability of the
joints to move through full range of
motion

a. ZIPPER TEST to test the upper arm

and shoulder girdle flexibility intended to
parallel the strength/ endurance
assessment of the region. The finger tips
should touch together behind the back by
reaching over the shoulder and under the
elbow.
 STANDARD
0 Did not reach the fingertips
1 Just touch the fingertips
2 Fingers overlapped by 1-2 cm
3 Fingers overlapped by 2-3 cm
4 Fingers overlapped by 3-4 cm
5 Fingers overlapped by 4-5 cm
b. SIT AND REACH to test the flexibility
the lower extremities particularly the
hamstring.
• Tester should reach as far as possible
without bending the hamstring.
3. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
is the ability of the heart, lungs and
blood vessel to deliver oxygen to
working muscles and tissues and how
they utilize oxygen.

ENDURANCE ability of the muscle to

do repeated work without fatigue

a. 3-Minute STEP TEST

a. 3-Minute STEP TEST
Height of Step
Elementary – 8 inches
Secondary – 12 inches

• 3minutes at the rate of 24 steps per

minute.
• One step consist of 4 beats.
• Count the pulses for 10 seconds.
Multiply by 6.
• Record the 60 second heart rate.
4. STRENGTH - is the ability of the
muscle to generate force against
physical objects.
- fitness world, refer to how
much weight can you lift for
different strength training
exercises.
 a. 90 DEGREE PUSH-UP to
test/ measure the strength of upper
extremities

b. CURL-UPS to test/ measure

the strength of the abdominal
muscles.
