5.3: Assessment And Evaluation Of PE The Measurement Of The Effects Of Training Fitness Tests
Why Is Fitness Testing Carried Out? • To provide a snapshot of an athlete’s fitness level. • Test and re-test will show improvement or otherwise. • Can provide motivation for athlete. • Coach can compare results of athletes with each other or against preset standards. • To monitor recovery from injury. • To provide a baseline level on which to base a training programme. • To add a competitive element to a training programme.
There Are two Types Of Fitness Tests • Nationally recognised and accredited tests. • For example, the ‘Beep’ Test. • Local tests. • For example, the 5 Minute Bench Run.
Nationally Accredited Tests • These tests must be correctlyadministered. This then allows the results to be compared with norm tables or results worldwide. • Failure to administer the tests correctly will greatly affect the validity and reliability of the test results. • Validity refers to the fact that the test must be recognised, test what it sets out to test and carried out in the prescribed way. • Reliability refers to the fact that the test must produce consistent results over a number of trials.
Local Tests • These are not recognised outside the environment in which they are carried out. Consequently, comparisons cannot be made with results from other areas. • However, as long as the test is administered consistently every time, results can be compared between athletes who have completed the test.
In Terms Of GCSE PE: • Only the recognised and accredited tests matter! • Credit will only be given in the exam for knowledge and understanding of these tests. • You will be expected to have knowledge and understanding of such a test for each component of fitness.
