Perios 3 Weight Training Blog 6 Graph Explained

Don't forget you have an assignment due this Friday. I have had some questions about the graph, specifically people want examples of what activities would help you determine your abilities in each of the skills. So here you are;

Cardiovascular/Respiratory endurance: A good test of this would be a 5k run. A person who can run 3.1 miles in less than 20 minutes would be a 10. 30 minutes would be a 5.

Stamina:A good test of stamina would be the 100 push-up test we did in class. 3 minutes and below would be a 10 on stamina. Above 5 min would be a 5.

Strength: This one is pretty straight forward. If you can bench press your body weight, or deadlift 1 and 1/2 times your body weight you would be a 10. Benching 1/3 of your body weight and Deadlifting your body weight would be a 5.

Flexibility: The sit and reach test we did for our fitnessgram is a good indicator of flexibility. Although it only looks at one muscle, if your hamstrings are tight most other muscles are as well. 10 or above on the sit and reach would be a 10 5 would be a 5.

Power: A good test of power is your vertical leap, 30 inches and up would be a 10, 20 would be a 5.

Speed: We can use 40 yard dash times for this one, but it does not just mean how fast you can run. A forty time below 4.7 seconds would be a 10 5.3 would be a 5.

Co-ordination: Kipping pull-ups are an example of this as is the agility ladder.

Agility: Pro-agility run and the shuttle run are good tests of agility. A 30 ft shuttle run time of 8 sec and lower would be a 10, 10 sec would be a 5.

Balance: The stork balance test with a score of 30 sec and up would be a 10, 15 sec would be a 5.

Accuracy: Double unders with the jump rope 25 in a row for a 10, 15 for a 5 or the dot drill 40 sec and under would be a 10, 60 sec would be a 5

The 10 and 5 I gave your are parameters for your to judge yourself, your score will fall somewhere in between. This is a big assignment make sure it is turned in by Friday.
