14 Cardiorespiratory Fitness Cardiorespiratory Fitness is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity. The higher cardiorespiratory fitness you have, the more efficient your body is at delivering oxygen to your muscles allowing you to exercise, and to live! We assess cardiorespiratory fitness to learn about participants heart and lung health and participants ability to participate in endurance-based activities

15 Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Protocol Submaximal VO2 test using pre-validated predicted equation This is the maximum amount of oxygen that you can use during intense or maximal exercise VO2 max cardiorespiratory fitness

20 Muscular Endurance 30 Second Chair Stand Participant seated in the middle of the chair, back straight and feet flat on the floor. Arms are crossed at the wrists and held against the chest. On the signal go the participant rises to a full stand and then returns to a fully seated position. The participant is encouraged to complete as many full stands as possible within 30 sec.

23 Muscular Strength Keiser Leg Press and Chest Press After a period of familiarization with the movement, have the client perform a light warm-up of 5 reps at 50% of his or her perceived maximum resistance. After a 1-minute (min) rest, cue the client to perform 5 reps at 60% 80% of perceived maximum resistance (moderate to heavy exertion). After a 2-minute rest, add resistance. If the client is successful at lifting that weight, allow a rest period of 2-mins and add more weight. Continue this process until a failed attempt occurs. Record the last successfully completed lift as the 5RM.
