FITNESS TESTING AND EVALUATION





Testing is an important factor in the personal training process. It enables our trainers to personalize a program and make it specific to each client.

Testing is quantitative and objective.

From testing you can derive hard numbers that can be used in a variety of ways. Evaluation, on the other hand is qualitative and subjective.

The two combined provide the personal trainer with the necessary information for devising the most precise and effective training plan possible.

Testing and evaluation provide information and feedback on training progress.
Testing and evaluation enables the personal trainer to set appropriate performance goals

Testing and evaluation are processes, not isolated events that are an end unto themselves. It is the relevance and transfer of the data to the implementation of the training program that is so essential. The proper regime is as follows:

*Determine the need for testing.
*Select the tests and determine the test protocols.
*Schedule the tests so that they are logistically arranged in relation to the training.
*Make sure the client is thoroughly oriented to the tests. *Conduct the tests.
*Collect and organize the data.
*Evaluate the results.
*Interpret the results.
*Adjust the training program if the test results and consultation with the client indicate the need.
