Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed

oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and
swimming. The Cooper Run is used most often to test cardiovascular endurance.

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press, leg
press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular strength.

Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples
would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The sit up test is most often used to test
muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint.
Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the ability to perform certain functional movements
such as the lunge. The sit and reach test is most often used to test flexibility.

Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This can
be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater
weighing is considered the “gold standard” for body fat measurement, however because of the size and
expense of the equipment needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement.

Push-ups

a conditioning exercise performed in a prone position by raising and lowering the body with the
straightening and bending of the arms while keeping the back straight and supporting the body on the
hands and toes

You’ll notice that this is the exercise mentioned the most when you’re looking at how to test your
muscular endurance, so it’s no surprise that it’s also used to train it!

Push-ups target many muscles in your body (being a total body exercise), so they should be one of your
go-to exercises when looking to train your muscles in this way...

#2 - Planks
The plank (also called a front hold, hover, or abdominal bridge) is an isometric core strength exercise
that involves maintaining a position similar to a push-up for the maximum possible time.

Planks will improve the endurance of your glutes, back, shoulders, hamstrings, and abs. They’re similar
to push-ups in this sense, but definitely serve as a great way to mix things up.

You can alternate between planks and moving planks for progression, and side planks also work a treat
for your obliques!

Zipper Test

Shoulder flexibility test (zipper test)

This test measures how mobile and flexible your upper arms and shoulder joints are. Reach one hand
behind your neck and down along your spine. ... You can measure your flexibility by how close your
hands are to each other.

Sit and Reach

The Sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the
hamstrings and lower back

The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the flexibility of the
lower back and hamstring muscles. This test is important as because tightness in this area is implicated
in lumbar lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower back pain.

Juggling is a physical skill, performed by a juggler, involving the manipulation of objects for recreation,

hexagon shape. It is similar to the quadrant jump test, and another hex test in which they jump over
hurdles as they go around the hexagon.
The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 40 meters, with the time recorded. A thorough
warm up should be given, including some practice starts and accelerations. Start from a stationary
position, with one foot in front of the other.
