6. • The athlete stands side on to a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to the wall. Keeping the feet flat on the
ground, the point of the fingertips is marked or recorded. This is called the standing reach height.
• The athlete then stands away from the wall, and leaps vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to assist
in projecting the body upwards. Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump.
• The difference in distance between the standing reach height and the jump height is the score.

14. • The aim of this test is to hold an elevated position for as long as possible.
• Start with the upper body supported off the ground by the elbows and forearms,
and the legs straight with the weight taken by the toes. The hip is lifted off the
floor creating a straight line from head to toe. As soon as the subject is in the
correct position, the stopwatch is started. The head should be facing towards the
ground and not looking forwards.
• The test is over when the subject is unable to hold the back straight and the hip is
lowered.

Use the standard "military style" push-up technique. The starting position is facing down with your
weight distributed on the hands and feet, arms straight. The body is rigid and straight, and the hands
are placed approximately shoulder width apart. Lower your body until your chest nears the floor at
the bottom of the movement, and then return up to the starting position. This is one repetition.
Women have the additional option of using the "bent knee" technique. To do this, kneel on the floor,
hands on either side of the chest and keep your back straight. Lower the chest down towards the
floor, always to the same level each time, either till your elbows are at right angles or your chest
touches the ground.
