This document provides an overview of different types of tests used in physical education and sports sciences. It discusses psychomotor tests, health-related fitness tests, physical fitness tests, motor fitness tests, sports skill tests, and cognitive domain tests. It provides examples of specific tests for different skills and abilities like the Snellen eye chart for vision, hearing tests using a watch tick, and tests for skills in basketball, soccer, badminton, volleyball, hockey, and tennis. The document also discusses how to interpret results from tests like the Snellen chart and classify levels of hearing loss.

a multidimensional construct containing the components
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility and body composition which are essential to
stay healthy

with vigor, and (2) a demonstration of traits and capacities that
are associated with a low risk of premature development of
hypokinetic diseases (e.g., those associated with physical
inactivity).

13. Nutrition
Assessment
• Is the process of determining the nourishment
status of an individual based on anthropometric,
biochemical , clinical or dietary data.
• Nutritional assessment is the systematic process
of collecting and interpreting information in
order to make decisions about the nature and
cause of nutrition related health issues that
affect an individual (British Dietetic Association
(BDA), 2012).
13

14. Systems of Nutritional Assessment:
Three types of nutritional assessment systems have been employed both in population-based studies and in the care of hospitalized
patients:
• Nutrition surveys – cross-sectional evaluations of selected population
groups; conducted to generate baseline nutritional data, to learn overall
nutrition status, and to identify subgroups at nutritional risk
• Nutrition surveillance – continuous monitoring of the nutritional status
of selected population groups (e.g., at-risk groups) for an extended period
of time; conducted to identify possible causes of malnutrition
• Nutrition screening – comparison of individuals’ parameters of
nutritional status with predetermined standards; conducted to identify
malnourished individuals requiring nutritional intervention.

17. Biochemical
Testing
• These tests use blood samples from
the patient, and are broken down into
particular areas such as vitamin tests,
mineral tests, calcium tests, iron
tests, sodium tests, electrolyte tests,
and more.
17

18. Clinical Assessment
• Estimation of nutritional status on
the basis of recording a medical
history and conducting a physical
examination to detect signs and
symptoms associated with
malnutrition

19. Dietary Method
• Estimation of nutrient
intakes from evaluation of
diets, food availability and
food habits , food recall
procedures, diet histories,
food records.

20. Snellen eye chart: History (1960’s)
• Dutch eye doctor Hermann Snellen developed the Snellen eye
chart in the 1860s. He was a colleague of Dr. Fransiscus Donders,
who began diagnosing vision problems by asking people to look at
a chart on a wall and tell him what they could see. According to The
New York Times, he asked Dr. Snellen to make the chart.
• Dr. Snellen also created a chart called the “Tumbling E” chart,
which can be used by people who cannot read, or by young
children who don’t know the alphabet. Instead of using different
letters, the “Tumbling E” eye chart uses a capital letter E that faces
in different directions. The eye doctor asks the person being tested
to use their fingers to show the direction in which the “fingers” of the
E are pointing.

21. A standard Snellen vision testing chart from
the 1950s

22. How to use the Snellen eye chart
• The Snellen chart usually shows 11 rows of capital letters. The first
line has one very large letter. Each row after that has increasing
numbers of letters that are smaller in size.
• You stand 20 feet away from the Snellen chart, and read from it
without your glasses or contacts. You cover one eye and read out the
smallest line of letters you can see. The test is done on each eye. In
some offices, the chart is viewed using a mirror so the test can be
done with less than 20 feet of space. The results are the same
whether or not a mirror is used.
• If you have 20/20 vision, you are considered to have normal visual
acuity.
• The top number refers to the distance in feet that you stand from the
chart. The bottom number indicates the distance at which a person
with normal eyesight can read the same line you correctly read. A
person with 20/20 vision can see what an average person can see on
an eye chart when they are standing 20 feet away.

23. Hearing TEST : Watch Tick Test
• Sound Detection Test: It measures the quietest sounds you can
hear.
• Not popular anymore after Audiometry test.
• Tester need to have normal hearing atleast in one ear.
• Keep the watch at distance of participant from where tester
could listen . Ask participant to respond to the sound.

24. Hearing Level
• The hearing level is quantified relative to 'normal' hearing in decibels
(dB), with higher numbers of dB indicating worse hearing. Hearing
loss can be graded as follows[2]:
• Normal hearing: less than 25 dB in adults and 15 dB in children[3].
• Mild hearing loss: 25-39 dB.
• Moderate hearing loss: 40-69 dB.
• Severe hearing loss: 70-94 dB.
• Profound hearing loss: 95+ dB.

25. Sports Skill Test
• Johnson Basketball Ability Test.
• McDonald Soccer Test,
• Lockart and McPherson Badminton Test,
• Brady Volleyball Test,
• Dribble and Goal Shooting Test in Hockey,
• Tennis: Hewitt’s Tennis achievement test
