Active recovery procedure - 1. Once the test finishes continue moving for 3 minutes at a light
intensity
2. Record HR at every minute of active recovery
3. Complete another 2 minutes of light recovery if the client is not sufficiently recovered
4. Measure HR and BP once the client is seated at 1 and 3 minutes
5. If after 3 minutes the clients values are below (HR >99 and BP >94/144mmHg) you can move on to
musculoskeletal testing
6. If levels have not come down continue sitting for another 2 minutes and measure HR and BP again.
7. If levels remain high above pre screening cuff offs postpone the rest of the assessment.
Aerobic fitness assessment - Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most important determinants
of health. Reflects the efficiency of an individuals heart, lungs and blood vessels in transporting O2 to
working muscles and the muscles ability to use that oxygen to do work. Refers to an individuals ability to
syustain physical effort over a period of time and ability to respond to emergencies.
* use the RPE to assist in developing a personalized physical activity prescription especially if HR
determination is not likely
Aerobic fitness test TERMINATION criteria - 1. Reaches the ceiling HR (85% of HRmax)
2. Asks to stop
3. Shows signs of physiological distress (begins to stagger, complain of dizziness, extreme leg pain,
nausea, chest pain or facial pallor)
4. Cannot maintain the cadence (for the mCAFT, and Cycle ergometer)
5. Completes Stage 8 of mCAFT
Aerobic training progression - Start up (1st week)
3x/week
40-50% HRR
10-15 minutes
,Improvement (5-7th week)
3-4x/week
60-70% HRR
20-25 minutes
Maintenance (24+ weeks)
3-5x/week
70-85% HRR
30-60 minutes
ASK - 1. Discovery questions
2. Welcome letter
3. AAL-Q (Abilities for active living questionnaire)
Back extension - 1. Measure of the isometric endurance of the trunk extensor muscles
, 2. Lower back pain is a significant public health concern
3. Good isometric trunk endurance may help to prevent lower back pain
* Not a suitable test for those with back discomfort or pain (do single leg extensions followed by bilateral
and contralateral arm and leg extensions)
Back extension instructions - 1. Have the client lay face down on the mat with the illiac crests
positioned at the edge of the platform
2. Hips, shoulders and head should be aligned
3. Secure the clients lower torso by holding the lower thighs or upper calves (straps around the gluteal
crest and below the knees - do not straddle the client or hold the ankles)
4. Have the client cross their arms over their chest and maintain the horizontal position without rotating
for as long as possible (max 3 minutes)
5. Concentrate on the floor
6. Terminate the test if there is any pain/discomfort, fatigue, or if the torso drops below the horizontal
(allow for one warning or adjustment) or reaches the max time
7. Recovery is laying on their back with both knees bent for 1 minute
8. Record the number of second maintained and the associated health benefit rating on the client

Back, poster - 1. Supermans
2. Cable row
3. Bent over barbell row
4. Arm - leg extensions
BMI - Indirect measure of body fatness correlated with health risks. Does not distinguish between
fat mass and fat free mass and provides no information on the distribution of body fat.
Correlation between BMI and body fatness can vary for gender and age (at the same BMI women tend to
have more body fat and older people have higher body fat than younger, trained athletes have higher
BMI because of muscularity rather than body fatness)
BMI=weight(kg)/height(m2)
