Q1. What do you understand by AAHPER test? Describe any two items of the test.
Ans. The AAHPER youth fitness test was formed in 1965 in United States. This test administered on school student of 17 year age. This test was designed to help the physical education teachers and other recreation leaders in the field to find out the performance levels of their students, compare them with national norms.
Administration of test
1. (a) Pull-ups(boys): This test measures the total number of repetitions performed without taking rest on a horizontal bar. The total number of pull-ups noted. In this test, the chin must reach above the bar while doing pull-ups.

The height of the bar should be adjusted so that it is approximately equal to the standing height of the student. With the help of two girls the student’s body is lifted off the ground until her chin is positioned above the bar.
The student holds this position as long as possible. Her time is noted in seconds. She may be allowed for one trial.
2. Flexed-leg sit-ups : The student is advised to lie on floor on his/her back keeping knees bent. The angle of knee: around 90 degree. The feet are held by partner. The student should put fingers locked and put behind the head curls up and touches the elbows to knees the score is counted as maximum number of sit-ups in 60 seconds.
Q2. Describe any three tests in Kraus-Weber test.
Ans. This very test of fitness was firstly used to investigate about the progress of the treatment given for back pain problems. More than eighty who take this test failed to pass it in the first attempt.
The first test of the six Kraus-Weber tests series is used to evaluate general fitness of a person. In this test one has to keep the feet on the ground: do sit ups while keeping both hands folded on the back and lying body on the ground.
The second part of Kraus-Weber ‘Test series is similar to first in posture but only change is that in this test knees of person are folded and the ankles are as close to buttocks as possible; while doing sit ups.
Lower Abdomen

Q3. Explain administration of Rockport one mile test.
Ans. Administration of Test :(i) Choose a windless day to conduct the test, (ii) Record your weight in pounds (lbs) (iii)Walk one mile (1609 mt) as fast as possible, (iv) Record the time to complete the one mile walk, (v) Immediately on finishing the walk record your heart rate (beats per minute), (vi) Determine your maximum cardio-respiratory ability (V02) from the calculation given below. Calculation procedure :Analysis of the result is done by comparing it with the result of previous test. It is expected that, appropriate training between each test should be done to show improvement.
The formula used to calculate VO2 Max is : 132.853 – (0-0769 × weight) – (0-3877 × Age) + (6-315 × Gender) – (3-2649 × Time) – (0-1565 × Heart rate)
Where :-
(a) Weight is in pounds (lbs),
(b) Gender: Male – 1 and Female = 0
(c) Time is expressed in minutes and seconds,
(d) Heart rate is in beats/minute
(e) Age in years.
Q4. Describe in short Harvard step test.
Ans. The Harvard Step Test is a method used to assess cardio-respiratory fitness, which was developed by Brouhaetal. (1943) in the Harward Fatigue Laboratories during World War II. It is based on heart rate recovery following a given work load of 5 minutes or until exhaustion.
What do we need?
·A gym bench or box. 20inches high.
·A stopwatch
·cadence
·An assistant
SCORING THE TEST
There are two versions of the Harvard Step Test, the short form and the long form.
·Short Form Equation – Fitness Index = (100 × test duration in seconds) divided by (5.5 × pulse count between 1 and 1.5 minutes).
·Long form Equation – Fitness Index = (100 × test duration in seconds) divided by (2 × sum of heart beats in the recovery periods).
Q5. Discuss the back scratch Test for upper body flexibility.
Ans. You’ll need a ruler or a yardstick. Place your hand over your shoulder, and reach as far as possible down the middle of your back, your palm touching your body. Place your other arm behind your back, palm facing outward and reach up as far as possible attempting to touch or overlap the middle fingers of both hands. Practice two times, and then test two times. Your partner measures the distance between the tips of the middle fingers to the nearest half-inch. If the fingertips touch, score zero. if they do not touch, score a negative distance. such as 2 incites: If they overlap score a positive distance, such as – 1 inch. Take your best score. For women the goal is to have your fingertips no more than 5 inches apart and for men no more that 8 inches apart. If you’re unable to reach this goal. You may be at risk for losing the ability to form some activities that require upper body flexibility. Stop the test if you experience pain.
