Assessing one’s health status will help the person know about one’s strengths and weaknesses.
Awareness of individuals’ health-related fitness and its relevant interpretations will aid the person
to efficiently create an action plan in observing a healthy lifestyle and selecting appropriate activities
for areas that need improvement.
Instruct the students to be in proper attire, prepare needed materials, and get ready to perform the
following activities.
Procedure: 1. Height. Stand with trunk straight. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of
the forehead. Record the score in centimeters (cm).
2. Weight. Stand on a weighing scale free from any object for weight accuracy. Record in kilograms
(kg).
3. Waistline. Locate your upper hipbone. Find the proper spot by placing your hands around your
waist, squeezing slightly, and then moving your fingers downward until you feel the top curve of
your hips. Place a tape measure around your bare stomach just above the upper hipbone. Record in
centimeters (cm).
4. Hipline. Place tape measure in the widest part of hip in line with the pubis.
5. Computation/s a. Body Mass Index (BMI) - measure of body mass based on height and weight that
aid in determining weight categories.
b. Waist to Hip Ratio (WHP) - measure stored body fats percentage by the relative measurement of
waist and hip WHR = Waist Circumference (cm) Hip Circumference
(cm)
II. 3-Minute Step Test Purpose: Test for Cardiovascular Endurance level based on how quickly your
heart rate will come back down after a physical activity Equipment: stopwatch, 12-inch bench box, a
metronome Goal: In a constant pace, step on and off the bench for 3 minutes straight

Procedure: 1. Stand close to the 12-inch bench box while your partner sets the metronome in 96
beats per minute (bpm). 2. When ready to begin, start the stopwatch, step one foot at a time to the
beat (up, up, down, down). When 3 minutes is up, stop immediately and get your pulse rate. 3.
Record the Exercise Heart Rate: _______ bpm
III. Hamstring and Hip Flexor Test Purpose: To test flexibility of the hamstring and hips Equipment:
protractor Goal: Keeping both legs straight, lift one leg to the maximum angle while the other leg
remain flat on the floor Preliminary: Illustrate angles on a poster board and paste it on the wall.
Procedure: 1. Lie on your back on the floor beside a wall. 2. Slowly lift one leg off the floor. Keep
the other leg flat on the floor. 3. Keep both legs straight. 4. Continue to lift the leg until either leg
begins to bend or the lower leg begins to lift off the floor. 5. Place a yardstick against the wall to
mark the spot to where the leg was lifted. Lower the leg. 6. Using a protractor, measure the angle
created by the floor and the yardstick. The greater the angle the better your score. 7. Repeat with
the other leg.
IV. Zipper Test Purpose: Test for the shoulder flexibility Equipment: tape measure Goal: Raise one
arm across your back with bent elbow and fingers reaching down Preliminary: Prepare needed
materials
Procedure: 1. In a standing position, raise one arm across your back, bend the elbow and reach
down as far as possible. Simultaneously, bring the other arm down behind the back trying to cross
fingers over those with the other hand. 2. Measure the distance of overlapped fingers in cm. If they
fail to meet, score it as a minus or <0. Write zero if the fingertips just touched with no overlap. 3.
Repeat the procedure with the other hand. Record the score.

V. Curl-up (Dynamic) Purpose: Test abdominal muscles strength and endurance Equipment: mat,
adhesive tape Goal: Perform curl-up with proper pacing (3 seconds per curl) Preliminary: Prepare
the mat. Place two tape marks 4 ½ inches apart on the floor.
Procedure: 1. Sit on a mat in a long sitting position. Bend your legs more than 90 degrees with feet
remaining flat on the floor. 2. Lay down with arms extended at the sides, palm facing down with
fingers extended touching the 1st tape mark. 3. From that position, curl your trunk up with heels in
contact with the floor until your fingers reach the 2nd marker. 4. Upon reaching the second marker,
lower back to the starting position. Repeat one-curl up every 3 seconds. 5. Continue the curl-ups
and stop when you are unable to keep the pace. Record the number of repetitions.
VI. 90-degree Push-up (Dynamic) Purpose: Test for the strength and endurance of the upper arm
muscles Equipment: mat Goal: To perform a proper push-up Preliminary: Prepare needed material
Procedure: 1. From prone lying position, place the hands just outside the shoulders with elbows
bent. 2. Males: Support the body in a push-up position from the toes with back, hip and legs align.
Females: Support the body in a push-up position from the knees instead of toes, with back, hip, and
legs aligned. 3. Lower the body until the upper arm is parallel to the floor or a 90 degrees angle of
the bent elbow. 4. Repeat as many times as possible.
Purpose: Test the muscular strength of the shoulder and upper arm Equipment: mat, stopwatch
Goal: Hold the push-up position not more than 35 seconds

Procedure:
1. Use the Push-up procedure 1 & 2 for preparatory position. From the starting position, lower the
body until the upper arm is parallel to the floor and elbow flexed at 90 degrees (see images above).
2. Hold the position as long as possible. 3. Record the obtained holding position.
