What is the BMI range with a low risk of diseases?
22-24.9
47
What is the preferred method for predicting vo2 max during cardio?
submaximal testing but it requirements expensive equipment and requires client go bat their max capacity, not the most common way to measure cardio assessment.
48
What are the two ways to measure cardio assessment?
YMCA 3-min step test | Rockport mile test
49
What are the instructions for the YMCA test?

50
What are the instructions for the Rockport test?
Client walk as fast as they can for 1 mile. Record the time it takes for the client to finish the walk, record the HR at 1 mile and use the Vo2 score. May use the HRR formula instead of straight formula (220-age)

``` Foot Ankles Knees LPHC Shoulders Head ```
53
What does the overhead squat assessment measure?
lower extremity decreased hip abduction and external rotation increase hip adductors restrict ankle dorsiflexion

what are the instructions for the shark skill test?
start in the middle and hop to a different box and come back to the middle. .10 secs is added every time hopping leg touches the ground, wrong box, does not return to center, and hands-off hips
65
what are the instructions for the bench press assessment?
``` warm-up and perform 8-10 reps add 10-20 pounds for 3-5 reps 2 min rest repeat until there is a failure between 2-10 reps use 1RPM chart ```
