Assessment Project Guideline

This course focuses on the importance of assessment methods and implication. To conduct the assessment, it is critical to follow three steps: (1) select an appropriate test (2) administer the test properly (3) collect and interpret the data. Evaluation of test results is used to determine current status and future direction. The data also can stimulate and motivate individual’s behavior.

In this project you will evaluate your overall physical fitness and diet.

To assess your physical fitness, The President’s Challenge Fitness Test (PCFT) will be used which is dedicated to improving the physical activity and fitness of All-Americans.  There are many sub-test components in the PCFT. For this project, you only need to conduct five components such as (1) curl-ups, (2) shuttle run, (3) endurance run (1-mile run), (4) push-ups, and (5) v-sit reach. Please see attachment for the detailed instruction. 

To assess your diet, you may use any reliable websites such as MyFitnessPal and WebMD (https://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-food-calorie-counter). These websites allow you to calculate the total amount of calorie you intake daily. If you can find any other websites, please feel free to use them.  

In order to fulfill this assignment, you will need to incorporate a number of vital elements into your paper. Please see below.
