The labs were written and designed to be self-administered or administered to others. Readers will find the book an essential resource for any career involving physical fitness and performance testing. This book's clear and concise layout makes it an ideal tool both for learning and for practical application in professional settings. The book includes 31 labs divided into eight units: Introductory labs Aerobic fitness Fatigue thresholds Muscular strength Muscular endurance Muscular power Body composition and body build Flexibility Labs include these features: Background, Terms and Abbreviations, Equipment (and pricing), Procedures, Equations, Sample Calculations, Worksheets, Tables, Extension Activities, and References.
