Start at point A, with back to free-throw line. When given the "go" command, side step from A to B (no crossover steps), backpedal from B to D,sprint forward from D to A,again backpedal from A to C,sprint forward from C to B, andsidestep from B to the finish line at A.Stopwatch is started at the "go" command and stopped when you cross the finish line. Take a practice trial and then use the best of two trials for final test score.
9.1Agility Assessment: SEMO Agility Test
Balance Assessment:One Foot-Stand Test
Use flat, smooth floor. Remove shoes and socks and stand on your preferred foot, placing the other foot on the inside of the supporting knee, and hands on hips. At the the "go" command, raise heel off the floor and balance as long as possible without moving the ball of the foot from its initial position.

Place right hand, with thumb up, on can 1 with elbow bent. At the start command, turn cans of soda pop upside down, placing can 1 inside circle 2, followed by can 2 inside circle 4, and then can 3 inside circle 6.Immediately return all three cans, starting with can 1, then can 2, and can 3, turning them right side up to original placement. On this "return trip," grasp the cans with the hand in a thumb-down position.The round-trip procedure is performed twice for one trial.
9.2Coordination Assessment: Soda Pop Test
Stand with feet several inches apart, centered on the tape measure, and toes just behind the takeoff line.Swing arms backward and bend knees and perform the jump by extending knees and swinging arms forward and jump as far as possible.
9.3Power Assessment: Standing Long Jump
Reaction Time Assessment: Yardstick Test
Hold tips of thumb and fingers in a "ready-to-pinch" position, about 1 inch apart and 3 inches beyond the edge of table.The yardstick is held so the zero point of the stick is even with the upper edge of the thumb and index finger.React by catching the stick when it is dropped. Do not look at the administrator's hand or move your hand up or down while trying to catch the stick.

Speed Assessment:50-Yard Dash
Sprint 50 yards as fast as you are able to do so.A starter raises one arm and asks, "Are you ready?" and the gives the command "go" while swinging the raised arm downward as a signal for the timer at the finish line to start the stopwatch.

Specific Exercise Considerations:Cardiovascular Disease
How much aerobic exercise is required to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease?
Research has not yet indicated the exact amountIt appears that 300 calories expanded through daily physical activity significantly decreases riskClinical data suggest that
More than 1,500 weekly calories are required to stop the progression of atherosclerotic lesionsOver 2,200 calories per week (the equivalent of 5 to 6 hours of weekly exercise) are needed for regression of lesions

Is exercise safe during pregnancy? Recommendations for pregnant women with no additional risk:
Do not start a new or more rigorous exercise program without proper medical clearanceAccumulate 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activities on most days of the weekExercise at an intensity level between "fairly light" and "somewhat hard" using the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scaleGradually switch from weight-bearing and high-impact activities like jogging and aerobics, to nonweight-bearing/lower-impact activities such as walking, stationary cycling, swimming, and water aerobics

Is exercise safe during pregnancy? Recommendations for pregnant women with no additional risk:
Avoid exercising at an altitude above 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) and scuba divingWomen who are accustomed to strenuous exercise may continue to do so in the early stages of pregnancy, but should gradually decrease the amount, intensity, and exercise mode as pregnancy advances Pay attention to the body’s signals of discomfort and distress and never exercise to exhaustion—when fatigued, slow down or take a day off

Is exercise safe during pregnancy? Recommendations for pregnant women with no additional risk:
To prevent fetal injury, avoid activities that involve potential contact, loss of balance, or cause even mild trauma to the abdomen (soccer, basketball, volleyball, Nordic or water skiing, ice skating, road cycling, horseback riding, or motorcycle riding)Do not exercise for weight-loss purposes during pregnancyGet proper nourishment (150 to 300 extra calories per day) and eat a small snack or drink some juice 20 to 30 minutes prior to exercisePrevent dehydration by drinking a cup of fluids 20 to 30 minutes before exercise and a cup of liquid every 15 to 20 minutes during

Specific Exercise Considerations:Pregnancy
Is exercise safe during pregnancy? Recommendations for pregnant women with no additional risk:
During the first 3 months in particular, avoid exercising in the heat and wear clothing that allows for proper dissipation of heat (a body temperature above 102.6° F or 39.2° C can harm the fetus)After the first trimester, avoid exercises that require lying on the back; this position can block blood flow to the uterus and the babyStretching exercises are to be performed gently because hormonal changes during pregnancy increase the laxity of muscles and connective tissue (these changes facilitate delivery, they also make women more susceptible to injuries during exercise)

Key TermsOvertraining: An emotional, behavioral, and physical condition marked by increased fatigue, decreased performance, persistent muscle soreness, mood disturbances, and feelings of staleness or burnout as a result of excessive physical training
Volume: The total amount of training performed in a given work period (day, week, month, or season)Periodization: A training approach that divides the season into cycles, each of which includes a systematic variation in intensity and volume of training to enhance fitness and performance
