Cardio Respiratory Endurance:It is also known as aerobic fitness. It involves performing exercise at a moderate level of intensity for an extended period. We do the Mile Run and Pacer assessments when fitness testing in PE.
Muscular Strength: is defined as the maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert against some form of resistance in a single effort. We do the Push Up and Pull Up assessments when fitness testing in PE.
Muscular Endurance: is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance. Performing multiple repetitions of an exercise is a form of muscular endurance. We do the Curl Ups and Flexed Arm Hang assessments when fitness testing in PE.
Flexibility: refers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. We do the Sit & Reach assessment when fitness testing in PE.
Body Composition: refers to the proportion of fat and fat-free (bone, water, muscle) mass in the body. We measure height and weight when fitness testing in PE
