Physiological Profile Assessment
Physiological Profile Assignment
This report establishes the use of the CSEP-PATH to assess the physiological profile of myself to prescribe hypothetical goals based on my results during the testing period. This paper includes a discussion of a description of each test completed and what it is designed to measure, the reasons for performing these types of evaluations, and the justification of three hypothetical training goals based on my results found in Table 1 with calculations from Appendix A.
Description of Each Test
The body composition of the client is measured by using a combination of the measurement of waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). This respectively measures the visceral fat in the abdomen, and an approximant measure of body fattiness as it does not distinguish between …show more content…
Flexibility, cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal fitness as well as body composition are all part of physical fitness and were presented in the tests taken. One goal is to improve my flexibility, which can be done through stretching and yoga. Another goal based on the data is to increase my lower back strength. Due to a history of back pain in relation to an injury, focusing on exercises relative to the lower back and core to strengthen would allow for me to experience less pain now and in the future. This is also in relation to flexibility as yoga also helps with lower back pain. Finally, a goal is also to improve my cardiovascular fitness. Due to my nature of work as a referee, it is important to have a high VO2max. Adding more cardio and interval training to my workouts would help improve this. This may also have the effect of bringing my BMI down to normal, so that I have a lower risk of a variety of health problems. By improving these aspects of my health, there will be a general increase in my physical
