• The VO2 max formula is: 132.853 - (0.0769 x Weight) - (0.3877 x Age) + (6.315 x Gender) - (3.2649 x Time) - (0.1565 x Heart rate) = VO2 score.
• Physical Activity Readiness - Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is a simple self-screening tool that can and should be used by anyone who is planning to start an exercise program and make it stick.
• Physical Activity Readiness - Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is used by fitness trainers or coaches to determine the safety of possible risk of exercising for an individual based on their health history, and current symptoms and risk factors.

• Physical Fitness is the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively, it is a physical condition when an individual has the capacity to do everyday tasks without a feeling of exhaustion.
• Health-related fitness components of physical fitness include Body Composition, Aerobic Endurance/Fitness, Flexibility, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Speed, Agility, Balance, Coordination, Reaction Time, and Power.
• Flexibility Test: Zipper Test - to test the flexibility of the shoulder girdle
• Reaction Time Test: Stick Drop Test - to measure the time to respond to a stimulus
• Agility Test: Hexagon Agility Test - to measure the ability of the body to move in different directions quickly
• Power Test: Standing Long Jump - to measure explosive strength and power of the leg muscles.
• Muscular Strength Test: Push Up test - to measure the strength of the upper extremities
• Coordination Test: Juggling Test - to measure the coordination of the eye and hand
• Muscular Endurance Test: Basic Plank Test - to measure the strength and stability of the core muscles
• Aerobic Endurance/Fitness Test: 3 Minute Step Test - to measure cardio-respiratory endurance
• Flexibility Test: Sit and Reach - to test the flexibility of the hamstring
• Speed Test: 40-meter sprint - to measure running speed
• Balance Test: Stork Balance Stand Test - to assess one's ability to maintain equilibrium
• A physically fit person enjoys participating in outdoor and sports activities, has a balanced and pleasurable experience, good physical health contributes to self-confidence and poise, it gives the person a feeling of security, enables him to mingle with people at work and play with satisfaction, a physically fit person works without becoming over fatigued, he accomplishes his work with a minimum of stress, and can face life's problems with a relatively better outlook.
• Agility describes the ability to change body positions/directions quickly and keep the body under control when moving.
• Muscular Strength describes the maximal amount of force a muscle group can exert at one time.
• Balance is the ability to assume and maintain any position, whether static or moving, against the force of gravity.
• Muscular Endurance describes the length of time a muscle group can contract and release before it fatigues.
• Flexibility describes the range of motion of muscles and connective tissues at a joint or group of joints.
• A physically active individual has the capacity to learn a variety of vigorous recreational pursuits.
• Aerobic Endurance/Fitness, also known as cardiovascular endurance testing or stress testing, measures how efficiently your heart and lungs work to supply oxygen and energy to your body during physical activity.
• Speed describes the ability to move all or a part of the body quickly.
• Body Mass Index (BMI) is a generalized calculation of body fat based on your height and weight.
• Physical Fitness Test, also known as fitness assessment, is comprised of a series of exercises that help evaluate your overall health and physical status.
• Power is the ability to combine strength with speed while moving.
• Coordination is the ability of body parts to work together when you perform an activity.
• Reaction time is the ability to move quickly once a signal to start moving is received.
• Body Composition describes the different components that make up your total body weight, including your muscles, bones, and fat.
