Solution

  1. Muscular Power: One appropriate fitness test for upper body muscular power is the Medicine Ball Throw. This test involves throwing a medicine ball as far as possible. The distance thrown is a measure of upper body power. Here are the steps:

    • Stand behind a line, holding a medicine ball with both hands.
    • Lower your body into a semi-squat position and explode upwards to throw the ball forward as far as you can.
    • The distance from the throw line to where the ball lands is measured.
    • The test is usually performed three times with the best result recorded.
  2. Muscular Endurance: The Push-Up Test is a common way to test muscular endurance in the upper body. Here are the steps:

    • Start in a high plank position with your palms flat on the ground, hands shoulder-width apart.
    • Lower your body until your chest touches the floor.
    • Push your body up returning to the starting position. That's one rep.
    • The aim is to do as many push-ups as possible until failure.
    • The total number of push-ups completed correctly is the measure of the upper body muscular endurance.
