Document Summary
Mls per kg of body weight per minute (relative) Absolute and relative vo2max tell a different story. Occurrence of peak velocity coincident with phv. Submaximal tests are better tolerated by children. Reliability low below 10 years of age. About 25% for contracting muscle as adult. Me = work output / (exercise mr - rmr) Should measure an area which extends from severely limited function to high levels of functional capacity. Should measure capacities that can be improved with appropriate physical activity. Should accurately reflect an individual"s physical fitness status as well as changes in functional capacity by corresponding test scores and changes in these scores. Four components: body composition, cardiorespiratory, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance & power. People who possess it are less likely to suffer disease. Tests: cardiovascular, flexibility, strength, muscular endurance, body composition. People who possess it are likely to be skilled in games and sports as well as vocational skills. Tests: agility, reaction time, balance, co-ordination, speed.
