Health self-assessment: Do you know about physical fitness testing?

The nationwide fitness craze is booming, and more and more citizens are regularly participating in physical exercise. Most citizens rely solely on their personal "experience and feelings" to make choices in the selection and implementation of sports programs and fitness methods, which has a great deal of blindness. Improper exercise not only does not improve health, but can also cause physical discomfort, sports injuries, and even accidents.

Physical fitnesstestingis an effective method for people to understand their own physical fitness by testing and analyzing various indicators of human physical fitness through scientific means. It is the basis for accurately evaluating their physical condition and provides guidance for targeted exercise and reasonable nutrition supplementation. Physical fitness monitoring is different from physical examination. Physical fitness testing is a proactive approach to understanding one's current physical condition and preventing the occurrence of diseases by testing one's body shape (height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat percentage), function (lung capacity, step test), and quality (grip strength, sitting and bending forward, standing with one foot closed, choosing reaction time, vertical jumping, male push ups, female sit ups); Physical examination is a method used by doctors to examine the pathological changes in the body structure or function of patients through visual examination, percussion, auscultation, pulse cutting, and instruments. Its purpose is to discover and diagnose diseases, and it is passive.

In addition, sub-health conditions such as loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia, restlessness, chest tightness, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, dull sensation, lack of concentration, paranoia, and negative pessimism are the major enemies of people's health. They are easily transformed into chronic diseases such as obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. After conducting physical fitness tests and understanding the condition of the body, experts can prescribe scientific exercise and nutrition prescriptions for test subjects to control and treat themselves, eliminate sub-health conditions, and improve the health level of the body. To some extent, regular physical fitness tests are more important than physical examinations. Whether it is physical exercise aimed at improving the working ability of the cardiovascular system and muscle tissue, or physical exercise aimed at reducing body fat and slimming down, scientific planning and guidance are necessary. Participating in physical fitness tests is the first step in the scientific development of physical exercise and must be given sufficient attention.

To participate in physical fitness testing, citizens can choose the nearest physical fitness monitoring station to obtain relevant services, or go to the Shanghai Citizen Physical Fitness Research Center located at Shanghai Sport University with first-class equipment and many experts for physical fitness monitoring.
