| flexibility | functional capacity of joints to move through a full range of motion, specific to each joint of the body |
| muscular strength | ability of muscle to exert force;max one effort force |
| muscular endurance | Muscle's ability to continue to perform without fatigue |
| WHO definition of health | Health is a state of complete physical mental, and social well-being. not merely the absence of disease |
| why perform fitness testing? | it reduces cardiovascular problems by 50%, those with disease or considered high risk are able to establish professional activity program, provides opportunity for individuals to be educated. |
| prior to exercise participation | assess for known cardiovascular or metabolic disease, medical questionnaires, seek medical clearance if needed |

| Why is a medical questionnaire necessary | determine reasons for medical clearance, first line of defense, enhances a professionals ability to interperet data, better meet needs of the patient |
| extensive questionnaire | Addresses every concern |
| Moderate Questionnaire | History symptoms and CVD risk factors |
