Test and Measurement in Sports Class 12 Notes

Fitness Test – SAI Khelo India Fitness Test in School

The SAI Khelo India Fitness Test is designed for the physical fitness of students in India. SAI Kehlo India Fitness Test measures different aspects of fitness, ensuring students maintain good health and physical activity levels.

AGE GROUP 5-8 YEARS | CLASS 1 to 3

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are important for the age group of 5 to 8-year-old children. FMS provide the building blocks for many physical activities, such as playing games, dancing, and sports. Locomotor, manipulative & body management abilities are key to success in most sports and physical activities. The test is measured by the following method:

  • Body Composition (BMI)
  • Coordination (Plate Tapping)
  • Balance (Flamingo Balance)

AGE GROUP: 9-18+ YEARS | CLASS 4 to 12

It is important for students to have an overall physical fitness. The test is measured by the following method:

  • Body Composition (BMI)
  • Strength a. Abdominal (Partial Curl-up) b. Muscular Endurance (Push Ups for Boys, Modified Push Ups for Girls)
  • Flexibility (Sit and Reach Test)
  • Cardiovascular Endurance (600 Metre Run/Walk)
  • Speed (50 m Dash)

Measurement of Cardio-Vascular Fitness

The Harvard Step Test is used to measure cardiovascular fitness. It helps to identify how quickly the body recovers after exercise. Participants step up and down on a bench for 5 minutes, then their heart rate is measured during recovery to calculate a fitness index. The scoring formula of the Harvard Step Test is:

Fitness Index = (Duration of Exercise in Seconds × 100) ÷ (5.5 x Pulse count of 1 − 1.5 min after Exercise)

Norms for Harvard Step Test

  • Below 49: Poor
  • 50-80: Average
  • 81 and above: Good

Computing Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a test to identify the number of calories required by the body to perform basic functions. For example, breathing, circulation and organ activity. BMR measured in kilocalories (kcal).

Factors Affecting BMR:

  • Muscle mass
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Body composition
  • Genetics
  • Environmental conditions (heat, cold)

BMR Calculation Formula

  • Male calculation = (10 × weight (kg.)) + (6.25 × height (cm)) – (5 * age) + 5
  • Female calculation = (10 x body weight (kg.)) + (6.25 x height (cm)) – (5 * age) – 161

Rikli and Jones Senior Citizen Fitness Test

The Senior Citizen Fitness Test (SFT) was developed by Rikli and Jones. The Senior Citizen Fitness Test helps to identify physical fitness for older people from 60 to 94 years old. The test helps to identify functional ability, identify weaknesses and improve overall health. The test includes the following methods:

  • Chair Stand Test for lower body strength
  • Arm Curl Test for upper body strength
  • Chair Sit and Reach Test for lower body flexibility
  • Back Scratch Test for upper body flexibility
  • Eight Foot Up and Go Test for agility
  • Six-Minute Walk Test

Chair Stand Test for lower body strength

This test evaluates leg strength and endurance. In this test participants sit on a chair and stand repeatedly for 30 seconds. The higher number of repetitions indicates good body strength, meaning the test evaluates the stamina and strength of the leg.

30 SECOND CHAIR STAND TEST

Arm Curl Test for upper body strength

The test measures arm and shoulder strength. The participants lift a dumbbell, mainly 5 lbs for women and 8 lbs for men, and complete as many curls as possible in 30 seconds.

ARM CURL TEST

Chair Sit & Reach Test for lower body flexibility

This test measures the flexibility of the lower back. The participant sits on a chair and extends one leg to reach toward the toes.

CHAIR SIT AND REACH TEST

Back Scratch Test for upper body flexibility

This test measures the flexibility of the shoulder mobility. The participant keeps one hand over the shoulder and the other hand behind the back and tries to touch the fingers. If the fingers are closer, it means better flexibility.

BACK STRETCH

Eight Foot Up & Go Test for agility

This test measures quick movements and balance. The participant stands up from the chair, walks 8 feet around a cone and returns to the chair as fast as possible. A faster time shows better movements.

FOOT UP AND GO

Six Minute Walk Test for Aerobic Endurance

This test measures heart and lung efficiency. The participant walks as far as possible in 6 minutes. A long distance indicates better endurance.

MINUTE WALK TEST

Johnson – Metheny Test of Motor Education

Johnson – Metheny Test is designed in 1932. It is a revised version of the Johnson Educability Test (1932). The purpose of the Johnson battery was to measure how well the person can move, balance and control their body. The test battery consists of four motor stunts, four stunts are to be performed by boys and three stunts for girls:

  • Front Roll
  • Back Roll
  • Jumping Half-Turns
  • Jumping Full Turns
