What is the purpose of the Davies Test?
Davies test Assessment measures upper extremity agility and stabilization.
Note: may not be suitable for clients or athletes who lack shoulder stability.
What is the purpose of the shark skill test?
The shark skill test is designed to asses lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control.
Note: it should be as a progression from the single-leg squat and as such may not be suitable for all individuals.
What is the purpose of the upper extremity strength assessment bench press?
The assessment is designed to estimate the one rep maximum on overall upper body strength of the pressing musculature.
Note: Personal trainers should not perform this assessment for clients with general fitness or weight-loss goals
What is the purpose of the lower extremity strength assessment squats?
It is designed to estimate the one-repetition squat maximum and overall lower body strength.
What does pronation distortion syndrome consist of?
A postural distortion syndrome characterized by. Foot pronation
(Flat Feet)
Adducted and internally rotated knees. (Knock knees)
What does lower crossed syndrome consist of?
A postural distortion syndrome characterized by. An anterior tilt to the pelvis
(arched lower back)
What does upper crossed syndrome consist of?
A postural distortion syndrome characterized by.
A forward head and rounded shoulders
A client’s shoulder elevates when performing a pushing assessment, what is a probable underactive muscle?
Mid/lower trapezius
