© ! SAI KHELO INDIA FITNESS TEST SAI Khelo India Fitness Test Battery has been designed to check the fu Components for school going students, This test battery has many test items w1 components of Motor Physical Fitness. This test is made for two age groups. (A) Age group 5 to 8 years (Ist to 3rd class students): It consists of three test items indamental (important) Motor Fitness /hich helps to evaluate the fundamental : () BMI test for body composition, | (i Flamingo Test for Balance (ii) Plate Tapping Test for Speed and Limb Agility / Coordinative ability. (B) Age group 9 to 18 years (4th to 12th class students): It consists of six test items () BMI test for Body Composition, : (i 50 meters Sprint for Speed and Acceleration (ii) 600 meters Run or Walk for Cardio-vascular Endurance (iv) Sit and Reach Test for Flexibility of Lower Back ; (9) Abdominal Partial Curl- up Test for Abdominal Strength (vi) Push-ups (Boys) / Modified Push-ups (Girls) for Upper Body Strength () BODY MASS INDEX TEST (BMI) : (FOR JUNIOR AND SENIOR (5 TO 18 YEARS) AGE GROUP) TBMI stands for Body Mass Index. This fitness testing is used to measure body composition on the basis of weight and height. This formula and index was formulated by Belgian mathematician and statistician Adolphe Quetelet. BMI helps a person to know whether he is underweight, normal or overweight. By knowing the body type, accordingly diet and workout can be set to gain or to reduce weight. Purpose : To measure Body Composition ‘Objective : To measure the Height and Weight and evaluate the Body Composition individual after computing. Infrastructure/Equipment Required: Flat, Clean surface, Weighing Machine, Stadiometer/Measuring Tape pasted on a wall. Test Administration : (@ Remove the participant's shoes, bulky clothing, and hair ornaments, and unbraid | hair that interferes with the measurement. | (i Height Measurement : Take the height measurement on flooring against a flat surface such as a wall with no molding. Have the participant stand with feet flat, and General Health of the together, and back against the wall. Make sure legs are straight, arms are at sides, and "shoulders are level. Make sure the participant is looking straight ahead and thatthe line of sight is parallel with the floor. Take the measurement while the participant stands with Shoulders, buttocks, and heels touching the flat surface (wall). Use a metal tape ‘from the base on the floor to the marked measurement on the wall to get the surement. Accurately record the height to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.(iii) Measuring Weight : Use a Digital Weighing Scale to measure the weight of the participant, (Avoid using bathroom scales that are spring loaded). Place the scale on firm flooring (such as tile or wood) rather than carpet, Have the participant Temove shioes and heavy clothing, such as sweaters, Have the participant stand with both feet in the center of the scale, Record the weight to the nearest decimal fraction (for example, 28.1 kilograms), ; (ty) Computing the Height and Weight : Here, height is considered in metres and centimetres; weight is considered in kilograms and grams. i () BMT can be calculated by taking person's weight (in kg and gm) and dividing ‘by height (mt and cm) square, j., BMI = Weight + (Height * Height) — Example : For instance, if your height is 1.82 m, the square of height will be (1.82 X 1.82) = 3.3124, If your weight is 70.5 kg then your BMI = 70.5 + 3.31 = 21.3 Evaluation of Test : Higher the figure, the more overweight is the person. This is just a guige a Overweight content in the body, This test can be a preventive step towards obesity. a Scoring : Use table to determine your BMI rating, (il) PLATE TAPPING TEST (FOR JUNIOR 5 -8 YEARS AGE GROUP) Purpose : Plate Tapping Test helps to measure the Speed and Coordination/ Agility of Limb Movement Objective : To do the tapping over the plate as fast as possible. Infrastructure/Equipment Required: Table (adjustable height), 2 yellow discs (20cm diameter), rectangle (30 x 20 cm), stopwatch Test Administration ; (® If possible, the table height should be adjusted so that the subject is standing comfortably in front of the discs. (@ The two yellow discs are placed with their centers 60 cm apart on the table. The rectangle is placed equidistant between both discs. The non-preferred hand is placed on the rectangle. ii) The subject moves the preferred hand back and forth between the discs over the hand in the middle as quickly as possible. @) This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 taps). | Administrative Suggestion: Participants should be encouraged to stand in a balanced posture, width. Results are usually better if the participant can maintain constant pace during most of t ring: The time taken to complete 25 cycles is recorded. {valuation can be compared. Teacher can also create own norms for evaluation. feet apart 10 the run, Physical Education Practical Manual-|2(ill) FLAMINGO TEST (FOR JUNIOR 5 -8 YEARS AGE GROUP) Purpose : To check the Balance and Strength ability of the individual on the single leg. Objective : To balance on a given box/block/bric| given time on one leg. FLAMINGO TEST. Infrastructure/Equipment Required: Non slippery even surface, Stopwatch, can be done on just standing on beam. Test Administration : (@ Stand on the beam. Keep balance by holding the instructor's hand (if required to start). i) While balancing on the preferred leg, the free leg is flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held close to the buttocks, (iii) Start the watch as the instructor lets go of the participant/subject. ’ (iv) Pause the stopwatch each time the subject loses balance (either by falling off the beam or letting goes of the foot being held). (@) Resume over, again timing until they lose balance. Count the number of falls in 60 seconds of balancing. If there are more than 15 falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated. ‘Administrative Suggestion: Participants should be encouraged to eyes focused ‘on stationary object straight ahead. Scoring: The total number of falls or loss of balance in 60 seconds of balancing is recorded. If there are more than 15 falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated. Teacher can also create own norms for evaluation like this Excellent] Good. |, Average | Fair Poor Bad ‘in 60 seconds (No) No fall 1 to 2 falls { 3 to 5 falls | 6 to 9 falls | 10 to 12 falls | 13 above Cop] Nor tatly [Fait alts | Bito15 falls [6 109 falls | 10 to 12 falls | 13 above (IV) 50 M SPRINT TEST (STANDING START) (FOR 9 TO 18 YEARS AGE GROUP) Purpose : To measure the Speed and Acceleration. Objective : To cover the set distance as fast as possible. Infrastructure/Equipment Requirement : Measuring tape or marked track or flat surface of at least 70 meters, stopwatch. ‘Test Administration : (#) After warm-up the participant stand behind the starting line in stationary position, (ii) At the blow of whistle or “Go” the participant sprint or run fast up to finish line which is 50 meter away from starting line. (iii) Time is recorded up to finish line in seconds and milli seconds. Scoring : The best time is recorded to the nearest 2 decimal The timing starts from the first movement (using a eh) and finishes when the chest crosses the finish line. ‘Timings for evaluation can be compared.

Sit mal Resch Tey (Gi) This test involves sitting on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead. (iii) The soles of the feet are placed flat againist the box whereas both knees should bbe locked and pressed flat to the floor (assistant may hold them down), (iv) Now stretch both hands forward and reaches towards the box whereas hands together to reach maximum towards box measuring tape. () Hold the position for two seconds at top penal of box and measure the distance in centimeters by ruler or length scale. Ensure that no jerky action or quick movement is done during tes. Scoring : The score is recorded to the nearest centimeter that is the distance between the initial position and final Position. If hand touches the toe then the score is zero. If it crosses beyond toe level then score is positive. If it does Ot reach at toe level then the score is negative, Evaluation = Evaluation can be compared. Teacher can also create own norms for evaluation like this for average, =m vi) PARTIAL CURL-UP TEST (FOR 9 TO 18 YEARS AGE Be Purpose : To test Abdominal Strength and Endurance. - Objective : To perform partial curl-ups as many as possible in the given time (30 sec. ).
