3. FITNESS ASSESSMENT - NAPFA contains 6 test items that measure both health-related components of fitness (i.e. cardiorespiratory or aerobic fitness, muscular strength and flexibility) as well as performance related fitness components (i.e. muscular endurance, muscular power, agility and speed). This assessment is useful in gauging one's level of overall fitness at any time. It is particularly helpful in identifying areas of weakness for remedial work and for evaluating the effectiveness of an exercise program that preceeds the test.
It could also be used as a general test of fitness for safe participation in sports.. |
Overview of The NAPFA test (6 items) |
 |
 |
|
| Test #1: Maximum number of Bent Knee Sit-ups in 1 minute, as a measure of anterior abdominal strength and endurance. |
| |
| Test #2: Better of two consecutive Standing Broad Jump distances, as a measure of lower and extensor muscular power. |
| |
| Test #3: Better of two consecutive Sit and Reach distances, as a measure of forward trunk flexibility, hip flexion and hamstring muscle stretch. |
| |
| Test #4: Maximum number of Pull-Ups in 30 seconds (for male 15 years and above); maximum number of inclined Pull-Ups in 30 seconds (for male below 15 years and all females), as a measure of upper limb muscular strength and endurance. |
| |
| Test #5: Faster of two attempts to complete a 4 x 10 m Shuttle Run, as a measure of general speed, agility and coordination. |
| |
| Test #6: Minimum time taken to complete a 2.4km Run/Walk on a firm and level surface, as a measure of cardiorespiratory endurance (or aerobic) fitness and lower limb muscular endurance. |
| |
|
| 1. All the six test items must be completed in one single session. |
| |
| 2. The 6th test items (i.e. the 2.4km Run/Walk) must be attempted last; any of the above five test items may be attempted first but in the given order (see above). |
| |
| 3. A maximum of 2-5 minutes rest is permitted between any two tests (for the first 5 test items); a 15 - 30 minute rest is permitted before the 6th test item. |
| |
| 4. Warm-up and cool-down exercises are recommended. |
| |
| 5. Attire: sports outfit, i.e. short-sleeved t-shirt, shorts (or track suit bottom), and jogging/training shoes. |
| |
|
| For all age groups, the performance score in each test item is graded A to E with corresponding point values of 5 to 1. The requirements for each of the three NAPFA Awards, i.e. Gold, Silver and Bronze, are as follows: |
Gold Award : |
At least C grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 21 or more points |
Silver Award : |
At least D grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 15 or more points |
Bronze Award : |
At least E grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 6 or more points |

| NAPFA is a test of overall physical fitness. As such, one must not only be prepared for it with prior training but also be free from significant medical problems such as recent infection or injury. Those above 35 years of age or are not sure of their health status are advised to consult a doctor before commencing training or attempting the test |

|
4. FITNESS ASSESSMENT - StepFITT requires the participant to step up and down on the platform at a rate of 22 steps per minute for females and at 24 steps per minute for males, for a total of 3 minutes. The participant immediately stops on completion of the test, and the heart beats are counted for 15 seconds from 5-20 seconds of recovery. |
StepFITT: General Overview and Guidelines |
 |
 |
|
Equipment required: 16.25 inches or 41.3 cm step, stopwatch, metronome or cadence tape, heart rate monitor. |
| |
| Target Group: This test is suitable for active and sedentary participants but not for individuals where the test would be contraindicated. |
| |
StepFITT Evaluation: VO2 MAX |
 |
 |
|
Fitness can be measured by the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity.
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters, one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight. Those who are fitter have higher VO2 max values and can exercise more intensely than those who are not as well conditioned. |
