Fitness Assessment On Home Computer

Fitness Level evaluation. Fitness Test evaluates your current fitness level. What does that mean? Your fitness level means your body’s ability to withstand a physical workload (how much) and to recover in a timely manner. In everyday life you can see how some people can easily run several miles, while others can’t walk for more than 10 minutes. The difference in these people is in their fitness level.

Fitness test – old methods. There are number of tests that can be used to supposedly determine fitness level. These tests are based on BMI, Weight, Resting Heart Rate, VO2 Max, just a number of push-ups… However, these tests are either expensive or/and inaccurate for some simple reasons. It is very difficult to develop standards based on a test time interval just because the number of sit ups, push-ups and their accuracy varies a lot during the test. In addition, heart rate measures after exercise are difficult to make accurately, you have to use a comprehensive heart rate monitor during the test. Anyway, these methods were created a long time ago, when computer did not exist yet, therefore should be excused for their inaccuracy.

Fitness test – newest, the most accurate, methods. What are the most effective and accurate methods in assessing fitness level today? Health Reviser’s Fitness Test is based on the one of the most accurate methods of fitness assessment. Computer diagnoses the autonomic nervous system response on a simple standup maneuver. The standup maneuver causes heart rate to rise within the first 10-15 seconds because blood pressure drops due to gravitational redistribution of the blood mass. Then the cardiovascular system attempts to compensate an orthostatic effect of standing up by constricting peripheral blood vessels. As a result blood pressure returns to its normal level and heart rate drops. Athlete body reaction is fast and strong, while sedentary lifestyle makes body react with a delay and a little amplitude. This serves as a base of determining a fitness level.

Fitness test – newest assessment from scientists. Fitness Test from Health Reviser was created by a group of scientists from USA, Europe, Russia, Japan and some other countries. Their research was based on a vast amount of fitness tests on volunteers of different ages and gender starting from people who never exercised and ending up w
1000
ith a national Olympic team. This research data allowed development of a unique algorithm of fitness assessment. This algorithm represents one’s fitness level on two different scales – absolute, where user’s results are compared with a full-range of individuals, another scale is age- and gender-related. The absolute scale compares your fitness level with beginners and top athletes of all ages and gender. If you are competitive, this is exactly what you need. Try to get the highest score and beat a national sport team. At the same time this is not a very good scale for beginners and seniors. At certain age it is very difficult, for even well trained body, to compete with 18 y.o. individuals because of body’s physiology (and in most cases it’s not a good idea). However, when you switch to the age-related scale, you can always get an excellent fitness score; and your goal would probably be to keep it for as long as possible.
