M1 – Explain the advantages and disadvantages of one fitness test for each component of
physical fitness
Flexibility (sit and reach): There are many advantages and disadvantages in performing this
test. For example, it’s not very difficult to conduct as this test can be administered
anywhere, regardless of this test being carried out either indoors or outdoors, although this
type of test measures flexibility in terms of hamstring and lower back but not any other
body parts. It’s not cost-effective, so therefore it is cheap to carry out this test. This test, in
some cases may not be reliable, as the performance does depend on a conduct of warm-up
session. This means that, if a performer was to test himself straight away, he might not put
his ability to test and get a good score since there isn’t a circulation of blood which would
aid in loosening the joints, however if he was to prepare and have a little warm, this would
increase his chance of getting a good score, since the blood flow has been transported to
other body parts to aid in the pliability of muscles. This test is valid in measuring flexibility in
lower back and hamstrings but no other body parts such as; quadriceps which can be also
measured.
Strength (handgrip Dynamometer): This is a simple test which determines how strong in
terms of the forearm muscles. Hand grip test, is easy to conduct, since it doesn’t require any
other additional equipment. Even though it is recommended that this type of test is the best
method to observe the amount of force someone can exert, it also can mislead performers
as this equipment must be adjusted on the scale regularly for accurate results, otherwise
this may interfere with the reliability of the test and on top of this the hand size must be
altered for different people as it can affect their accuracy of results. The validity of this test
can be argued that hand grip dynamometer method is used for general strength, although
that is not always the case, as this test doesn’t measure other muscle groups, which can
have doubts on the validity of this test being performed based on strength.
Aerobic endurance (multi stage fitness): There are many benefits and drawbacks for this
test. Firstly, more than one athlete can participate in this test which saves a lot of time for
other athletes performing individually. The drawback for this test is that there always should
be one person who is always monitoring for accurate results. This test may not be cheap as
it requires CD’s which has to be purchased online and may cost time for the process of
delivery. This test can be directed indoors or outdoors but this can be argued that different
surface and conditions i.e. raining or snowing can be an issue and therefore it can have an
effect on the performance. This test is reliable when it comes to determining how fit
someone is, as it allows the person to calculate his pulse from pre, now and after stages and
can also calculate vo2 max. This test is valid for measuring aerobic endurance since it
indicates for each performer their level of fitness.
Speed (30 metre sprint): This is considered to be the best method for anaerobic test and it
also can be conducted outside or inside. There are also many disadvantages to this test but
the reliability of this test can be a factor. For example, if the weather condition was bad i.e.
