Equipment

Your test selection may be influenced by the equipment that is available to you. It is essential that the equipment is well maintained and calibrated to ensure optimal reliability. The term 'calibration' means checking your fitness testing equipment to ensure it is in working order and measuring accurately. An example of calibration is during the multi stage fitness test when you are required to time a one minute period to ensure your tape player is running at the correct speed.
