1. BODY COMPOSITION – is the

body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free

mass

a. BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

Classification

18.5 – 24.9 Normal

25.0 – 29.9 Overweight

30.0 - above Obese

Weight (Kg.)

Height (m)

2

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

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.
