## Strength Strength is the ability of the muscles to generate force against physical objects. ### Push Ups **Purpose:** to measure strength of the upper extremities **Equipment** * Exercise mats or any clean mat **Procedure** **For The Tester** * Lie down on the mat. Face down in standard push-up position: palms on the mat about shoulder width, fingers pointing forward, and legs straight, parallel, and slightly apart, with the toes supporting the feet. * **For Boys:** Straighten the arms, keeping the back and knees straight, then lower the arms until there is a 90-degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor). * **For Girls:** With knees in contact with the floor, straightens the arms, keeping the back straight, then lowers the arms until there is a 90-degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor). * Perform as many repetitions as possible, maintaining a cadence of 20 push-ups per minute. (2 seconds going down and 1 sec going up). * A maximum of 50 push-ups for boys and 25 push-ups for girls. **For The Partner** * As the tester assumes the position of push-ups, start counting as the tester lower his/her body until he/she reaches 90-degree at the elbow. The partner should stand in front of the tester and his/her eyes should be close to elbow level to accurately judge the 90 degrees bend. * Make sure that the performer executes the push-ups in the correct form. * The test is terminated when the performer can no longer execute the push-ups in the correct form, is in pain, voluntarily stops, or cadence is broken. **Scoring:** record the number of push-ups made. | Score | Standard | Interpretation | |---|---|---| | 5 | 33 and above | Excellent | | 4 | 25-32 | Very Good | | 3 | 17-24 | Good | | 2 | 9-16 | Fair | | 1 | 1-8 | Needs Improvement | | 0 | Cannot Execute | Poor | ## Task 2: Skills-Related Fitness **Speed** is the ability to perform a movement in one direction in the shortest period of time. ### 40-Meter Sprint **Purpose:** To measure running speed **Equipment:** * Stopwatch * Running area with known measurement (40 meters)
