Muscular Fitness Assessment Headline Summary I assess my 23 year old male client’s upper and lower body strength and endurance and core endurance. My client’s goals are to build his endurance and tone his body. My client was classified as below average for muscular strength for both upper and lower, and was excellent or very good for core, upper, and lower body muscular endurance. Purpose & Importance of Test The purpose of this test was to assess the client’s muscular fitness, identify his limitations, and help identify areas of weaknesses and strengths. It was important for the client to do this assessment to test his muscular fitness to give me a baseline for his exercise prescription. I can use his results to see if the client’s strength and endurance are either above, below, or average for his age …show more content…
I can also use his results to write an adequate exercise prescription to reach his muscular fitness goals. Explanation of the Test I split the muscular fitness assessment between two days, so my client would not feel overwhelmed. On the first day my client did muscular endurance at his home because the exercises did not require any equipment. On the second day we did the muscular strength at his local gym because the exercises required equipment. Before we started the endurance test, I had my client do some jumping-jacks and a few stretches to prepare his body for exercise. For my client’s upper body endurance test, he did a 1-minute push-up test. My client told me after he done this test that his back was hurting during the test, so I made him rest for about 5 to 10 minutes. He also did a 1-minute sit-up test for his core endurance. He did not complain about his back hurting during this test. After that, he did air squats for 1-minute. The air
First was the Manual Muscle Testing on both the right and left arms. As expected for her left side, most of her muscles scored in the poor range, however, her right side she had difficulty in her pectoralis muscles extending her arm upward and outward. Finally, the grip and pinch strength test showed that her left hand has no strength in it, but her right hand scored
a. Screen failures will be notified by Dr. X that they cannot participate in the pilot study because they do not meet the subject inclusion criteria. The data obtained by the screen failures will be immediately disposed for confidentiality purposes. b. Randomization Procedures After the participants receive permission to participate in the physical therapy rehabilitation study and completed the informed consent documents, the Principal Investigator will randomly assign the patients to either the balance, strength, or Dry Needling rehabilitation group through drawing a number out of a hat. c. Study Intervention i.
PAF 301 Written Performance Task 1. The two fitness tests I’m most proud of is my full sit ups in a minute and beep test results. The exercises I did in my three week fitness program to help me accomplish my 55 sit ups in a minute included a variety of core exercises. I’ve done side planks, sit ups, planks, russian twists, hollow holds, running mans, v-snaps, mountain climbers, plank jacks, wood chops and tuck extends.
The only issues on the day was that we had done the Cooper Run before so my body was tired. The type of athlete that would use this test would be someone like Louis Smith who is a British gymnast. This tests is specific to him because he has to be very flexible and be able to perform to his best ability Illinois agility test The third test we did was the Illinois agility test. This tests agility.
1. The potential errors for body mass index (BMI) is that the measurement does not separate how much weight is fat or lean body mass. For example, a muscular person could have a higher BMI but more muscle mass and could be falsely described as obese. Some potential errors in a waist to hip ratio depends on the individual. An individual may be pear shaped, which are people that have a larger hip compared to waist.
Its main focus points is manual muscle test and evaluation. Professionals such as doctors, nurses, physical therapists, athletic trainers and personal trainers use this book to search a specific muscle in the body to find a correct test to evaluate a particular muscle. Each chapter offers an expanded treatment and exercise sections to be able to evaluate personal injuries or pains suffered from training. Each chapter goes over a particular section of the body starting out with chapter one being about posture to the last chapter being lower extremities. It explains each muscles purpose, preforming test and proper treatment of each muscle and muscle
An illustrated example is when a person is trying to bench press but have not been trained on how to bench press or doing a hard workout in the gym. Clinical manifestations of a first-degree strain include the muscle becoming overstretched, a person would experience pain but there not be any muscle deformity, minor trauma, or muscle soreness. Treatments for a first-degree pain include applying ice on the strain about 5 to 6 times within the first 24 to 48 hours, exercises that are specialized to treat the injury, and gradual resumption of full weight bearing after initial rest for up to 2 weeks from the muscle strain. The second type of muscle strain is called a second-degree muscle strain.
As results, I had a VO@ MAX of 42.669, a population average of 37.295, a score of 84 and I was rated as “good.” Secondly, the muscular strength and endurance tests were: the plank (core strength) which was evaluated in 8 stages, the sit ups (30 seconds), the squats test, the push ups test and the standing long jump test. In the plank test, I succeed to do 7 stages on 8. For
The particiapnts were given a five-minute rest period between each set. We provided a one- minute rest period between the squats (front and back). For five seconds the subject would maximally contract the knee extensors against manual resistance for 5 seconds, which is the same way we measured MVC. The participants would also be shaved when necessary for placement, which was something that we did not do (Gullett, J. C., Tillman, M. D., Gutierrez, G. M.,
Among my biggest hobby is Crossfit and fitness in general. This interview couldn’t have come at a better time, because this is the peak season for crossfit participants. It’s the Crossfit Open. Crossfit head quarters post a workout every Thursday. Participates post their score the following Monday, the entirety of the event lasts 5 weeks.
As contained in the guidelines of the assignment I must participate in the activity for 30 minutes and record my results. For this, I decided to go through a chest workout which is my favorite weight training workout. Like any other workout, I take about 10-15 minutes to properly warm up by doing what 's called a dynamic warm-up. A dynamic warm-up gets me focused on what 's to come and it also helps mitigate the risk of injury while lifting. Before this workout, I was very stressed about all of the studying I have to do before the term is over.
Every man desires to sew wide. Military or defense you may have to go to any service-related chest must be broadened. Anyway, clothes only look good when your chest wide. To the gym in the morning or evening when it is more important is that you set a goal, or you have moved on from a stage.
Besides a coach an athletic trainer is the right hand man to an athlete. As an athletic trainer there are many tasks that keep us going. One is the athletes themselves and all of the requests they come in and demand. From recovering from an injury to preventing a life long injury from reoccurring trainers are always on the move. Prioritizing, viewing a wide variety of injuries, and differing work fields are just a few of the benefits that you get when you are a trainer.
Muscular strength is defined by Hall, E. (2003) as the ability of a muscle group to develop maximal contractile force against a resistance in a single contraction. Greenfield, B. (2016) suggests that power and speed goes hand-in-hand with strength. Greenfield (2016) defined power as the ability to generate high amounts of force over a period over a short time, while defining speed as the ability to travel a set distance over as short a period of time as possible. These vital skills allows a taekwondo player’s muscular units in the lower extremeties the ability to kick, jump, and maintain stances. According to this study, their hasn’t been a consensus about the different investigative studies done on the effect of muscular strength training in taekwondo, and only one study investigated speed and agility in low frequency taekwondo training measured through 50m shuttle run test (Kim, 2011).
A fitness goal setting is an important process before embarking onto any weight loss activities. Many people have tried different weight loss programs, but could not reach their wanted fitness level. Some lost the motivation along the way, some got injured and others stopped few days before starting. Usually, this happens because they lacked necessary planning, proper actions and the biggest reason they want to be fit. Actually, setting a fitness goal is easier than you think.
