Flexibility Test
Remove your shoes and sit on a flat surface
legs extended in front of the body, toes pointing up and feet slightly apart, with the
soles of the feet against the base of the step (if there is no step, just any flat surface
will do).
Place the ruler on the ground between your legs or on the top of the step. Place one
hand on top of the other, then reach slowly forward.
At the point of your greatest reach, hold for a couple of seconds, and measure how far
you have reached. If you have trouble straightening you legs, get a friend to help by
holding the knees down flush with the ground
Push-up Test
Perform a short warm up before performing any fitness testing.
Begin in a push up position on hands and toes with hands shoulder-width apart and
elbows fully extended.
While keeping a straight line from the toes, to hips, and to the shoulders, lower your
upper body so your elbows bend to 90 degrees.
Push back up to the start position.
Continue with this form and complete as many repetitions as possible without
breaking form.
Record the total number of full push ups completed.
