Beep Test
BMI what is it and how is it tested?
We can use our height and weight to calculate our Body Mass Index or BMI.
This gives us an idea of how heavy we should be for our height. BMI is only an
guide and does not take into account the types of body tissue that make up
our body. Just because your BMI may be in a particular range, doesn’t
necessarily mean you are unhealthy or unfit.
The formula for BMI is weight ÷ height2

What is the Beep test?
This test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in time to
recorded beeps. . The speed at the start is quite slow. The subject continues running between the two lines, turning when signalled by the recorded beeps. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed, and the beeps will be closer together. This continues each minute (level). If the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must wait until the beep sounds before continuing. The test is stopped if the subject fails to reach the line (within 2 meters) for two consecutive ends after a warning.
Sit-up test: What is it?
This test simply records how many sit ups you can do in one minute. Start
doing sit ups when your teacher blows the whistle. You do not have to do sit
ups constantly, but do as many as you can before your teacher says stop. Don’t
forget to keep count, or have a partner count for you.
What is the sit and reach test?

box. Read the number your fingertips reach on the box. Don’t forget to check
whether it’s a positive or negative number.

reaching up and brushing your hands through the test
