Task 2 Hand Grip Test
Fitness testing Task 2
Hand grip test:
Suitability: The hand grip test is suitable as it is a straight test to test the forearm strength and gives a good indication of your strength.
Reliability: the dynamometer may need to be calibrated regularly to ensure consistent results. Having consistent technique and adequate rest is required to ensure reliability.
Validity: The validity of this test as a measure of general strength has been questioned, as the strength of the forearm muscles does not necessarily represent the strength of other muscle groups. If you wish to measure the strength of a particular muscle group, there are other specific tests that can be performed.
Vertical Jump:
Suitability: this test was suitable as it is a good
test to test the core power of the person.
Reliability: The reliability of the test isn’t very high as it is hard to see the exact height in which they jump; also they need to rest between each jump to ensure reliability.
Validity: a vertical jump is a good measure of explosive power, or the power that can displayed within certain time or movement limitations. It takes about .22 seconds to execute a vertical jump and create your maximum upward velocity.
One rep max:
Suitability: This test was suitable as it is a good way to see the strength of the persons chest muscle.
Reliability: the reliability of the test is good as you are using a machine so the results are accurate, Rest should be given between each rep to ensure reliability.
Validity: The validity of the test is good as you are measuring the strength of the persons chest and this is exactly what the test does.
Bleep test:
Suitability: This test is suitable as it gives a clear indication of the persons cardiovascular endurance which is what you’re trying to measure.
Reliability: The reliability of the beep test would depend on how strictly the test is run and the practice allowed for the subjects. There are also other factors which can affect performance, which need to be controlled if possible.
Validity: The validity of the test is good as you’re measuring exactly what you’re trying to measure
Press-Ups
Suitability: This test is suitable as it measures muscular strength and endurance.
Reliability: The reliability of the test is good as it is easy to do and the results are easy to obtain, rest should be taken if you are going to do the test more than once.
Validity: the validity is good as it measures endurance and strength which is what the test is designed to do.
Sit-Ups
Suitability: This test is suitable as it tests abdominal muscular endurance and doesn’t work any other muscles.
Reliability: The test is reliable as it is easy to do and the results are easy to gather meaning it’s accurate, rest should be given if doing the test more than once.
Validity: the validity is good as it tests abdominal muscular endurance and no other muscles.
