Once you have completed all of the posts you should download and complete this template of a spreadsheet and summarise your results and include the validity and reliability of the tests you did and how they were administered on the day you did them (you will need to extend these boxes when you type in them).
You should then begin to build a fitness profile of yourself based upon your fitness test results and the sports that you play the most.

Once you've completed the table, here is an example of what you Fitness Profile might look like:
"I am 15 years old and enjoy playing most sports. I belong to a football club and train twice a week and play on Sundays. I also take part in PE lessons 3 times a week. My fitness test results have given me some interesting information and could indicate ways in which I could improve my performance as a footballer.
Firstly, my cardiovascular fitness score after the 12 minute run was just above average. I am a midfielder and this component of fitness is crucial. Therefore, this is an area I would be keen to improve in the coming weeks.
My agility and speed scores were good. these too are important for footballers to get to the ball before your opponent and to dodge past them when dribbling. Whilst these do not need to be improved too much I would like to ensure that they do not get worse (reversibility).
My score for power was 28cm which is below average. This is an essential component in football which could help improve my shooting. I have only scored 2 goals this season so would be keen to build on this.
Whilst my coordination score was average, I feel that the test did not offer a true reflection of my performance as a footballer. The validity of the test was questionable as we had to throw a tennis ball against the wall and catch it with alternate hands. In football, I feel my coordination is very good as I am able to use different parts of my body simultaneously to receive and deliver passes as well as when I dribble with the ball. None of these skills really involves my hands so I do not wish to address this issue in my training plan.
Finally, I struggled to even reach the board on the sit and reach test and need to improve my flexibility a great deal. This would help to prevent injuries which could be crucial as my team gets close to the end of the season. Also, I have missed a number of matches due to strained muscles."
