What Physical fitness test
We generally talk about Physical Fitness Tests. But only some of us know that there is a test framework prepared by the former Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports i.e. BPESS, which gives you information about the status of your overall physical fitness.
There are two types of Physical Fitness Tests:
Pre-test – This test is done at the beginning of the physical fitness test which includes a fitness test to determine your fitness status.
Post-tests are done during the last month of the physical fitness test.
The results of both tests serve as the basis for providing continuous activities or training in order to maintain one’s fitness.
When we perform a physical fitness test, we will basically perform exercises that test several fitness components.
