Discussion
Physical fitness is a major concern in today’s world. Childhood obesity is on the rise due to variety of
factors, from the food available to the average child to his/her daily (in) activity. Meanwhile, their parents often
work in jobs that do not require a great deal of movement, and when they finally get home, they’re too busy and
tired to take simple steps that will ensure their physical fitness doesn’t deteriorate. Some even call the current
situation a crisis or an epidemic.
Fitness can be explained as a state that allows each and every person to feel, look and perform well in every
action they do. Physical fitness trainers often describe fitness as the capability to carry out day to day functions
energetically and vigilantly by keeping extra energy to do other leisure-time activities and emergency needs.
Physical fitness is one of the most important factors that allow us to lead a healthy and active life.
Physical fitness allows you to perform daily activities and face physical and emotional stress during
moments of increased intensity. If you are physically fit you have a good physical and mental health. Being
physically fit helps people to perform well in all circumstances despite of age.
7 Reasons Why to Test Your Fitness Level
1. Establish your baseline. When you know your initial fitness status, you know how far you have to go to
reach your goals. Testing helps you set specific, achievable yet challenging goals with realistic target
dates.
2. Compare yourself to others. Many tests are standardized. They provide norms, so you know where you
stand in relationship to the “average” person’s score.
3. Individualize your program. Knowing your fitness level springs you out of the one-size-fits-all exercise
mold and jump starts your personalized streamlined training path.
4. Know how hard to work. You can estimate your optimum training range using maximum or predicted
maximum fitness scores. For most phases of training, exercise intensity is typically performed within a
target zone of 60-85% of your maximum cardio or strength level.
5. Evaluate your progress. When you measure your progress regularly, you can see how far you have
advanced from your baseline fitness level. Each milestone that you achieve is a great confidence booster
that propels you on toward your goals.
6. Revise your program. Regular fitness evaluations indicate areas where you make great strides, and other
areas that demand more emphasis. Intermittent testing drives data-driven decisions, eliminating much of
the guesswork about how to adjust your program to keep you on target.
7. Achieve your goals. The concrete pat set by the fitness score patterns leads you on a nonstop journey to
your final fitness destination. Once you achieve your goals, continued testing helps monitors your fitness
maintenance.
