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,
