Measuring Cardiovascular & Coordination
Cardiovascular Endurance - Multi Stage Fitness Test
Cardiovascular Endurance - Multi Stage Fitness Test
Equipment needed: cones, a tape measure, a CD player, a CD with the test and a sheet to record scores.
Process
Process
- The performer must run back and forth over a distance of 20 metres.
- This is a progressive test. This means that the test gets harder the longer it goes on. The performers need to run the 20m in time with the bleeps.
- The performer keeps running until they cannot keep up with the bleeps. The score is recorded as a level and a bleep (e.g. Level 9, bleep 2).
- You can compare the score against a general rating scale that can provide a conversion to predict a performer's VO2 max (maximum consumption of oxygen during exercise).
Which sports?
Which sports?
- This is an appropriate test for basketball players, who run up and down the court in a similar movement pattern.
- This is a less appropriate test for golfers because they do not run back and forth during play.
Coordination Test - Wall Toss Test
Coordination Test - Wall Toss Test
Equipment needed: a tennis ball, a flat wall, a stopwatch and an observer.
Process
Process
- The performer stands with both feet together 2 metres from the wall.
- The performer holds the tennis ball in one hand.
- The performer throws the ball against the wall with one hand and catches with the other hand. If the ball is dropped, the time will continue.
Which sports?
Which sports?
- This is an appropriate test for cricket or rounders players who need to be able to catch with both hands.
- This is a less appropriate test for rowers. Although rowers need co-ordination of the arms and legs, catching a ball is not an appropriate way of testing the skills that they need.
