Question 1

Q.22:discuss the suitability of using the fitness tests shown in table 6 to assess their fitness for their sport (9)

Answer 1

The 30m sprint measures speed,canoeists need mainly speed in their arms so they can paddle quicker this ultimately shows that the 30m sprint isnt suitable because it measures speed in your legs and not in your arm and in canoeists you dont really need speed in your legs

The sit and reach tests measures flexibility so you can get a good range of movements at the joints when paddling.this will give them a better tecnique to go faster therefore this test is the most important

The one-minute press-up test measures muscular endurance.this important becuase they need to keep padling using their arms however the one minute press up test doesnt measure strength a more suitable test is the hand grip test
