Initial Assessment
Wednesday, October 2nd 6:00pm Steven Zwygers, Tanner Wilson
Warm up
Skipping (2 -3 mins)
Dynamic Stretching
- Knee ups
- Butt Kicks
- Lunge into Quadricep Stretch
- Squat into knee hugs
- Arm Circles
Strength Test
Push up Test
--> In prone position on the floor, place hands flat on the floor at shoulder height. Abduct the shoulder so the upper arm is parallel with the floor and elbows are bent at 90 degrees. Begin by lifting body, keeping back straight with butt and knees on the floor. Lift to full extension of the elbow without locking the joint, and then lower back to ground without actually putting any weight back on the floor. Repeat as many times as possible in 1 minute.
Amount of push ups completed from knees in 1 minute: 10
Therefore, according to the table below, the client falls into the category "below average" for her age group.
Table I: PUSH UP TEST NORMS FOR WOMEN

Sit up Test
--> In supine position on the floor, bend knees to 90 degrees and keep palms of the feet flat on the floor. Allow instructor to stand on or hold feet to the ground. Cross both arms across the chest with shoulders abducted to 90 degrees. A full sit up consits of the up phase to where the elbows touch the knees and then back down to the floor.
Amount of sit ups completed in 1 minute: 26
Therefore, according to the table, below the client falls into the "below average" category for her age group.

Manual Muscle Testing
All the exercises in the Manual Muscle Testing were completed with no outstanding issues.
Balance Test
Y excursion Balance Test
--> Begin by marking out a Y on the floor with tape. Instruct the client to stand with one foot on the very mid point of the Y facing the single straight peice of tape. The client will then proceed to reach forward as far as possible without losing balance and tap the tape without putting any pressure on the reaching leg. Continue with 3 tries at each line and record distance.
Right Foot Reach:
Back Right 45 degree angle - 102cm
Back Left 45 degree angle - 75cm
Straight forward reach - 91cm
Left Foot Reach:
Back Right 45 degree angle - 75cm
Back Left 45 degree angle - 85cm
Straight forward reach - 93cm
Flexibility Test
Sit and Reach
--> Placing feet flat against a box and knees flat on the floor instruct the client to reach forward as far as possible without letting their knees come up off of the floor. Ask them to hold their final distance for atleast 3 seconds so that there is no "bouncing" effect that could scew the results. Record the 3 trials.
3 Attempts for the sit and reach flexibility test:
Attempt 1 - 26cm
Attempt 2 - 30cm
Attempt 3 - 30cm

Notes
- add in notes from assessment
SMART Goals
•Improve cardio in order to run 5 km without rest by the sixth week. Cardio training twice a week, with one day per week designated to running. Also, resistance training to increase muscular endurance in lower limbs by doing by 3 sets of 12 reps.
•Improve upper body muscle strength to do 15 push-ups or more in 1 minute (on knees) by the sixth week. Strength training twice a week. This will make her average based on the norms for her age
•Improve balance by working on core once a week to be able to do 33 or more sit-ups by the sixth week. This will make her above average based on the norms for her age
•Increase flexibility by warming up using dynamic stretching and static stretching as part of the cool down; holding each stretch for 30 seconds. We will measure this during a sit and reach test. The goal is to increase by 3 to 5 cm by the sixth week.
