KING OF FITNESS TESTS

The PLATINUM FITNESS CHALLENGE is our highest level fitness award.

 

It involves 4 key measures of fitness.

 

1.

AEROBIC FITNESS - number of 20m laps in 5 minutes.

 

 

 

2.

ABDOMINAL STRENGTH

Situps - feet held - maximum consecutive number in 90 seconds - feet held, fingers clasped behind the ears, coming up so elbows touch the knees, shoulders (not head) hitting the ground.

 

 

 

3.

UPPER BODY STRENGTH

Pressups - maximum consecutive number in 60 seconds - men on toes, women on knees.

 

 

 

4.

LEG STRENGTH

Squat - number of times you can squat down so your backside is close to your heels and stand-up (straight) in 90 seconds. Start standing up. You may need a block of wood under your heels to so you can go right down without falling over.

 

 

 

SCORING

To achieve a particular standard you need to complete the required number of repetitions as listed below. Your award depends on the lowest score you receive for any one of the items. eg, if your lowest score was, say 30 situps, your final score is the Plastic Award.
