-5 points of contact (head, shoulders, buttocks and feet) -Touch chest (Do not bounce the bar) -Press to full extension with even lock-out
Procedures of Taking Body Composition
-All measurements should be made on the right side of the body for uniformity purposes -Pinch should be 1.5 - 2 inches -Caliper should be placed 1cm away from the thumb and finger, perpendicular to the skin fold and halfway between the crest and the base of the fold. -Pinch should be maintained while reading the caliper -Wait 1 - 2 seconds (and not longer) before reading the caliper -Take duplicate measures at each site and retest if duplicate measurements are not within 1 - 2 mm -Rotate through measurement sites or allow time for skin to regain normal texture and thickness
Procedures of Girth Measurements
-All the limb measurements should be taken on the right side of the body (or bilateral measurements) using a "Gulick" tension-regulated tape. -The subject should stand erect but relaxed. -Place the tape on the skin perpendicular to the long axis of the body part at each site. -Pull the tape to the proper tension without compressing the subcutaneous adipose tissue. -Take duplicate measures at each site and retest if duplicate measurements are not within 5 mm or 0.25 in. -The average of the measurements is used. -Measurements should be taken on the skin surface for more accuracy (measurements taken over clothing should be documented - over clothing). -Rotate through measurements to allow time for the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue to regain normal texture and thickness.

Push-Up Test Protocol for Measurement of Muscular Endurance
1. The push-up test is administered with male subject's in the standard "down" position (hands pointing forward and under the shoulder, back-straight, head-up, using the toes as the pivotal point). Female clients can choose to be in the modified "knee push-up" position (legs together, lower leg in contact with the mat with ankles plantar flexed, back-straight, hands shoulder width apart, head-up, using the knees as the pivotal point). 2. The subject must raise the body until to a straight arm position and return to the "down" position until the chin (or chest) touches the mat. The stomach should not touch the mat. 3. For both male and female, the client's back must be straight at all times and the subject must push up to a straight arm position. 4. The maximal number of push-ups performed consecutively without rest is counted as the score. The test is stopped when the client strains forcibly or is unable to maintain the appropriate technique for two consecutive repetitions.
Muscular Strength Test Protocol for 1RM Bench Press and Leg Press
1. The subject should warm up by completing a number of submaximal repetitions of the specific exercise that will be used to determine the 1RM. 2. Determine the 1RM (or any multiple of 1RM) within 4 maximal efforts with rest period of 3 - 5 minutes between trials. 3. Select an initial starting weight that is within the subjects perceived capacity (50-70% of capacity). 4. Resistance is progressively increased by 2.5-20kg or 5-44lb until the subject cannot complete the selected repetition(s); all repetitions should be performed at the same speed of movement and ROM to instill consistency between trials 5. The final weight lifted successfully is recorded as the absolute 1RM or multiple RM.
Curl-Up Test Protocol for Measurement of Muscular Endurance
1. Two strips of tape placed on a mat at a distance of 12 cm apart (for those who are ≤ 45 y) or 8 cm apart (for those who are ≥ 45 y). 2. The subject assumes a supine position on a mat, knees at 90◦ with feet on the floor, arms extended to their sides and fingers touching the nearest piece of tape. This is the bottom position. To reach the top position, subjects are to flex their spines to 30◦ angle, reaching their hands forward until their finger touch the second strip of tape. 3. A metronome is set to 40 beats.min-1. At the first beep, the subject begins the curl-up, reaching the top position at the second beep, returning to the start position at the third, top position at the fourth, etc. Repetitions are counted each time the subject reaches the bottom position. The test is concluded either when the subject reaches 75 curl-ups, or the cadence is broken.
Shoulder Reach Flexibility Test
1.Precede the test with a short warm-up (4-6 minute) consisting of rhythmic movements and static stretching. 2.Raise your right arm straight up over your head. 3.Bend your right elbow. Let your right palm rest on the back of your neck with your fingers pointing down toward your feet. 4.Using your left hand, reach down behind your back and rest the back of your hand on your spine (your palm should be facing away from your body). 5.Without straining, slide your right hand down your neck and your left hand up your spine (your hands should be moving toward each other). 6.Once you have reached as far as you can, the examiner will measure the distance between your two middle finger tips. 7.You would then switch hands to perform the test on the opposite shoulder.

Purpose of taking Height/Weight and BMI
The purpose of taking height, weight and BMI is to determine how healthful your weight is relative to your height. Determining your BMI can begin to set your goals for a healthful weight. BMI is an estimate of body composition.
Score of Trunk Flexion Test for Measurement of Flexibility
The score is the most distant point (in inches or centimeters reached with the fingertips. The best of three trials should be recorded. To assist with the best attempt, the client should exhale and lower the head between arms when reaching. Testers should ensure that the knees of the client stay extended; however, the client's knees should not be pressed down. The client should breathe normally during the test and should not hold his or her breath at any time.
