Static health tests – We select 3 tests from a long list which could include blood pressure, BMI, body fat percentage, waist to hip ratio etc. The results are then compared against tables of figures and will tell us if clients are ready for physical activity and at what level of intensity the programme should be based etc. It will also give indications as to whether clients should be referred to their doctor before attempting physical exercise.
