Test Items for Ages 17-59

Test Item	Function
Body Height	It reflects the longitudinal growth of the skeleton.
Body Weight	It is an index that reflects the overall transverse growth of the human body, including girth, width, thickness and weight, and a measurement that reflects the development of the skeleton, muscles, subcutaneous fat and viscera to a certain extent.
Resting Blood Pressure/Heart Rate	Blood pressure includes two indicators: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Generally speaking, systolic pressure mainly reflects the stroke volume of the heart during its contraction phase, whereas diastolic pressure mainly reflects the degree of peripheral resistance. Measuring blood pressure is mainly for assessing the functional ability of the cardiovascular system.
Waist Circumference	Waist girth is an easy-to-make measurement that reflects the thickness of subcutaneous fat of the abdomen to a certain extent and, indirectly, the condition of body fat in the human body.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis	A Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer is used to obtain body fat percentage and muscle mass data.
3-minute Step Test	It is a simple fixed load test for assessing the functional ability of the cardiovascular system mainly through observing the correlation among the time of continuous physical exercise with a fixed load, the reaction of blood vessels during exercise and the time required to return to normal heartbeat after a loaded exercise.
Sit-and-reach	The test measures the maximal forward flexion of the lower back and the hip joints in a static position. It is used for assessing the elasticity and flexibility of the subject’s joints, muscles and ligaments.
Handgrip	It reflects the muscular strength of the forearms and the hands.
1-minute Sit-up	It reflects the muscular strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles and hip flexors.
Plank	It reflects the muscular strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles.
Vertical Jump	It reflects the explosive power of the major muscles of the lower limbs.
Single Leg Stance Test (Eyes Closed)	In the test, the duration of which the subject sustains standing with only one leg and having both eyes closed is measured. The test is for assessing the coordination ability between proprioception and position sense.
