Physical Assessments
1. Complete all parts of the physical assessment.
2. Highlight your scores on the norms tables provided within each section
3. Save answers for final project
4. ONLY SUBMIT your RESULTS for each section and your NORMS CLASSIFICATION.
a. **VO2 Max submit equation as well
Resting heart rate (see p. 81)
1. To be taken first thing in the morning
before, coffee, exercise, breakfast, getting
dressed etc.
2. Take pulse at either the Radial
(wrist) or Coratid (neck/throat) artery (see
image below)
3. Gently place 2 fingers of your other
hand on this artery. Do not use your thumb,
because it has its own pulse that you may feel.
4. Take pulse for 10 seconds and
multiply by 6
10 second pulse:_______________ x 6 = _________________beats per minute (bpm)

1-Mile Walk1
The aim of the 1-mile walk test is to assess your current level of cardiorespiratory
fitness by estimating your maximal oxygen consumption often referred to as VO2max.
This part of the lab must be performed during class time after having filled out the PARQ or your physical activity readiness assessment.
1. Equipment
a. 1. Track or flat course that is 1 mile long
b. 2. Stop watch, need to determine minutes and seconds
1
Fahey, T., Insel, P., and Roth, W. (2010). Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and
Wellness. McGraw-Hill Education
c. 3. Scale
2. Preparations
a. Measure your weight in pounds before beginning the assessment.
b. Body weight: ____________ lbs
3. Instructions
a. Warm up before beginning the 1-mile walk
b. Complete the 1 mile walk as quickly as possible. Walk at a brisk pace but
comfortable. You must raise your heart rate above 120bpm.
c. As soon as you cross the finish note your time and take your 10 second
pulse/
d. Time: __________ min ___________ sec
10 sec pulse: ____________
e. Take some time to walk slowly to cool down
4. Determining maximal oxygen consumption
a. Determine your 60 second pulse count (exercise heart rate)
10 sec pulse: ___________ x 6 = ___________
b. Convert your walk time from minutes and seconds to a decimal figure. For
example if you completed the walk in 14min and 45sec it would become 14 +
(45/60) or 14.75 min.
c. Walk time: _____________ min + (_______________sec/60)= ______________min
d. Insert the following values into the equation provided
i. W= weight in pounds
ii. A= age in years
iii. G= Gender (male= 1; female= 0)
iv. T= time you complete the course in min.
v. H= exercise heart rate
5. VO2max= 132.853 – (0.0769 x W) – (0.3877 x A) + (6.315 x G) – (3.2649 x T) –
(0.1565 x H)

2. Back Scratch (see text for example p152) Left: ______________(+ or -)
Right: ______________(+ or -)
a. Procedures
i. In the standing position, place one hand behind the head and back
over the shoulder, and reach as far as possible down the middle of
your back, your palm touching your body and the fingers directed
downwards.
ii. Place the other arm behind your back, palm facing outward and
fingers upward and reach up as far as possible attempting to touch or
overlap the middle fingers of both hands.
iii. Direct the subject so that the fingers are aligned, and measure the
distance between the tips of the middle fingers.
iv. Scoring: If the fingertips touch then the score is zero. If they do not
touch, measure the distance between the finger tips (a negative
score), if they overlap, measure by how much (a positive score).
v. Record the best score to the nearest centimeter or 1/2 inch.
vi. Practice two times, and then test two times, test both arms (ie right
arm up then left arm up).

Nueromotor Assesments
The 4-Stage Balance Test (See pg for details
Purpose: To assess static balance and proprioception
Equipment: A stopwatch
Directions: There are four progressively more challenging positions. Do not use an
assistive device (cane or walker) and keep their eyes open. However stand near a wall or
steady object incase you do lose your balance.
Try to stand in each position for 10 seconds. You can hold your arms out or move your
body to help keep your balance but don’t move your feet.
Start with balancing for 10 seconds in the following positions: feet together, semi tandem,
and tandem. If you are unable to complete one of the stages listed above for the full 10
seconds end the test do not move on the more advanced version. If you are able to
complete the versions listed above you will now complete the single leg stance with eyes
open for as long as you can then progress to performing it with your eyes shut for as long
as you can.
1. Stand with your feet side by side. Time______________seconds
2. Place the instep of one foot so it is touching the big toe of the
other foot. Time_____________seconds
3. Place one foot in front of the other, heel touching toe.
Time______________seconds
4. Stand on one foot. Time______________seconds
5. Standing on one foot with eyes shut.
