fitness assessments
Exercise capacity tests
Fitness assessments are standardized tests measuring physical capabilities—typically cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.
Gyms use them to establish baselines for new members; schools administer them to students; doctors order them to evaluate health risks.
