Fitness Testing for Sport and Exercise
Unit 7
The ability to conduct fitness testing is a vital skill for the sport scientist to possess. All
athletes and people starting exercise need to know where they are at any point in time so
they can work out how close they are to where they want to be. The aims of fitness testing
are to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure that the person is safe to exercise
Find out their current position in terms of fitness
Identify their strengths and weaknesses
Gain information to inform the process of writing a fitness programme
Be able to monitor any changes in fitness
Show a professional and caring approach
Understanding the practice of health screening
Before you start to conduct fitness tests with an athlete or a person who wants to start
exercise you will need to conduct a detailed fitness consultation.
This will consist of the following:
•
•
•
•
Health screening questionnaire
Informed consent form
Identification of coronary heart disease risk factors
Identification of any causes for medical referral.
Health screening questionnaire
What type of information would need to be covered in Health screening questionnaire?
Informed consent
An informed consent form lets a client know what to expect during the exercise test, and
the associated risks involved in exercise or training. It also stresses that any participation in
the tests is voluntary and you have the choice to stop at any point.
What type of medical concerns would you suggest the participant would need to get
GP clearance for before you would start to train them?
Medical referral
To ensure that you offer a proper ‘duty of care’ to your client you will need to refer them to a
GP if you have any doubt regarding their safety to exercise. If your client has any of the
following they must be referred to a GP.
