AN INTRODUCTION
Fitness means having sufficient energy and skill to cope in one’s environment. Fitness is specific to the individual and ranges from the optimum fitness required by top athletes through to that required to cope with daily tasks
Fitness tests are carried out to establish an individual’s overall fitness level- range of flexibility, cardiovascular function, muscular strength/endurance ability and body composition in order to give the personal trainer/instructor or coach guidelines as to the specific fitness components to be focused upon during training
Fitness testing is used as a means of testing athletes and fitness enthusiasts for progression in their sport or improvement in health/wellness/lifestyle.
SUMMARY. General fitness programmes for the general public and athletes must be structured to stress all the systems that contribute to fitness. Fitness testing is used to assess such systems and quantify levels of fitness allowing safe and efficient training programmes to be constructed
