Used indicators of fitness test are test of the heart-lung, tests of strength, speed test, test muscle strength (weight lifting) and explosive muscle power tests (punching). A common and easy test for common people is the heart-lung test. Before the exercise, the heart-lung tests done to measure VO2 max (maximum oxygen volume). This test is to determine the body's ability to use oxygen during physical activity.
Oxygen is essentially needed as fuel for all physical activities such as walking, running, moving, and working. When the body is forced too often, you will be difficult to breath. It is called as a natural sign of the body which indicates a decrease in the ability of a person.
If it lets to continue without knowing how to handle, it can result in difficulty breathing or heart failure for those with a heart disease history. Simple fitness tests such as the talk test method can help you know your body's ability.
For persons who perform running exercise
with light intensity,
the ability limit can be seen if they
can speak and
sing after a run.
For moderate intensity, they can still talk,
but it's hard to sing after a run. Well,
for the hard intensity,
let alone sing after
a run, even talking is too difficult to do. That's the time when the workout should be stopped. Don’t force
yourself if you can’t talk
and sing anymore. Increasingly forced, it may result in over training and
accident-prone. Thus, identify and measure your
body's maximum capacity is necessary.
