Fitness Test and Measure


Test for Aerobic Capacity

     I chose to use Aerobic Capacity because it measures the ability of the cardiovascular system to provide oxygen to the muscles at work and the ability of those muscles to extract oxygen to generate energy. The greater the aerobic capacity the stronger the body's resistance to fatigue.




For the Test I'll be using Queens College Test








The step test was performed on March 22, 2020 in my house. I used our stairs outside.
I had no difficulty in performing the test and it had little or no effect on my stamina



How the test is performed


  • The test usually takes 10-20 mins
  • Wear comfortable clothes
  • Don't drink alcohol a few hours before the test
  • Don't exercise before the test




VO2max

VO2 max, also known as maximal oxygen uptake, is the measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can utilize during intense exercise. 





Gastrocnemius Flexion





I chose this test for testing since it is very convenient for me. Since I am an athlete I had no problem performing the test. I usually perform this during my warm ups before practice.



Test for Flexibility




In this test, I used the sit and reach test to determine if my leg and back muscles are flexible. It was easy for me to reach my toes but I felt a mild pain originating in my hamstring muscles probably due to lack of stretching exercises since I was not able to play sports for the post few weeks because of the lockdown.

Case Scenario





Case 3


As Joe's attending PT, I must serve as a proper role model for him and must hold my stretches for 30-60 seconds as to show Joe a good example. If I show a lazy attitude during rehab then Joe might also get lazy because he sees me, his attending PT showing a bad example. If I see Joe shortening his given time, I must explain to him that being lazy can make his progress slow, thus delaying his healing progress at the clinic and also delaying the time that he can get back to his sport. As a PT I must show Joe that diligence in rehab can make him heal faster and be back in sports quicker.

WELLNESS MODEL

Wellness is a state of being in good health and must be maintained by an individual in order to live well. APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) Still hasn't imposed a wellness model to serve as a guide for PTs. So in my opinion Hetller's Six Dimensional Model of Wellness is the best guide for PTs.





  The Image shown is the Six Dimension of Wellness by William Hetter, PhD (1979). In this model Hettler declared that the dimension of wellness are environmental, emotional, intellectual, occupational. physical, social and spiritual. In rehab the PT must not only focus on treating the physical aspect of a patient, but must provide treatment to the other dimensions shown in this model. This model can be a guide for PT's  on how to interact with the patient in order to provide optimal treatment.
