Cardiovascular Fitness
This lab will take place following the midterm exam . All students will participate in the
Step test and should come prepared to do so. Those participating in the Bruce protocol
will be the only exceptions to this. Read the CPAFLA manual to determine the pre lab
preparation regarding exercise, food and alcohol intake in the day prior to the test.
Flexibility
We will be comparing direct and indirect measurements of flexibility. We will discuss
the appropriate utilization of subjective and objective methods of assessing flexibility and
lower back health. Every student will be involved as both a subject and an assessor for
this laboratory session. Please let the instructor know if you have ongoing injuries that
will prevent you from participating in one or more of the assessments.
Core Stability
We will look at the assessment of endurance in trunk flexion, extension and lateral
stability. Every student will participate as a subject and an assessor. We will also look at
teaching neutral spine and abdominal bracing as a first step in rehabilitation and training
of core stability. We will progress to look at several beginner and advanced endurance
exercises, and the incorporation of labile surfaces into the training of dynamic stability.

Informed Consent for Bruce Test
I, ____________________, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following
procedure as part of a laboratory in Kinesiology 343, Active Health: Assessment and
Programming.
The Bruce Test is a multi-stage aerobic treadmill test. It starts at 1.7 mph and 10% grade
and increases the speed and grade every three minutes until the individual is unable or
unwilling to continue, or until some abnormal response such as an irregular heart beat
occurs. The test usually lasts about 10 minutes. I will wear a portable heart rate meter. I
will also have my electrocardiogram obtained from three electrodes stuck to my skin, one
on each of the ribs and one on the sternum or scapula.
I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:
- possible irritation of the skin of the chest from the elastic heart rate meter strap or the
electrodes.
- muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or
two after exercise.
- rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest,
- traumatic injury from falling during running (this risk will be minimized by having
"spotters" at the side and back of the treadmill.
I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:
- learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing
- help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test
- obtain results of my own aerobic fitness
I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may
stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any
complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Director, School
of Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for Anaerobic Treadmill Test
I, ____________________, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following
procedure as part of a laboratory in Kinesiology 343, Active Health: Assessment and
Programming.
The anaerobic treadmill test has a warmup, then a single, brief (maximum of one to two
minutes) run to exhaustion at 20% grade and either 6 or 8 mph, then a cool-down.
I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:
- muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or
two after exercise.
- rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest,
- traumatic injury from falling during running (this risk will be minimized by having
"spotters" at the side and back of the treadmill.
I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:
- learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing
- help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test
-
obtain results of my own anaerobic fitness
I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may
stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any
complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Director, School
of Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for mCAFT
I, ____________________, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following
procedure as part of a laboratory in Kinesiology 343, Active Health: Assessment and
Programming.
The mCAFT is a multi-stage sub maximal aerobic test. The first stage of stepping starts
at a tempo determined by gender and age and lasts for three minutes. The stepping
tempo is then increased slightly for every subsequent three minute stepping stage. Heart
Rate is monitored following each stage. The test will continue until I reach a predetermined ceiling Heart Rate (85% of my age predicted maximum) or stage eight. The
test usually lasts about 10 minutes. I will wear a portable heart rate meter or have my
heart rate measured by palpation. I will also have my Blood Pressure measured several
times during recovery.
I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:
- possible irritation of the skin of the chest from the elastic heart rate meter strap
- possible irritation or compression of the arm from blood pressure monitoring
- muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or
two after exercise.
- rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest
- traumatic injury from falling during stepping.
I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:
- learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing
- help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test
- obtain results of my own aerobic fitness
I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may
stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any
complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Director, School
of Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for Core Stability Lab
I, ____________________, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following
procedure as part of a laboratory in Kinesiology 343, Active Health: Assessment and
Programming.
The Core Stability lab will involve assessments and exercises for the musculature of the
lumbar spine.
I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:
-
muscular fatigue in the core, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or
two after exercise.
the advanced exercises and the use of labile surfaces increases the stress on the
lumbar spine. These are not recommended unless performed properly, and are
therefore optional
I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:
- learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing
- help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test
- obtain results of my own core endurance
I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may
stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any
complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Director, School
of Kinesiology.

Laboratory Questions (keep your responses brief)
1. On page 15 of the Bike lab manual we see that Ice Hockey players have very high
Wingate test scores compared to many other athletes. Explain why this makes sense.
2. What are the main differences in what is being measured in the anaerobic treadmill
test and the Wingate test? Are they measuring the same thing? If not explain.
3. What are four major assumptions you make when determining VO2 max from a submaximal test like the YMCA bike test?
4. What is the main difference between direct and indirect measures of flexibility?
