The multi-stage fitness test was first described by Luc Léger [6] with the original 1-minute protocol, which starts at a speed of 8.5 km/h, and increases by 0.5 km/h each minute. Other variations of the test have also been developed, where the protocol starts at a speed of 8.0 km/h and with either 1 or 2-minute stages, but the original ...
Speakers vary their speed of speaking according to contextual and physical factors. A typical speaking rate for English is 4 syllables per second, [5] but in different emotional or social contexts the rate may vary, one study reporting a range between 3.3 and 5.9 syl/sec, [6] Another study found significant differences in speaking rate between story-telling and taking part in an interview.
The test subject repeatedly steps onto and off of a platform every two seconds. [2] The height of the platform is 20 inches or 51 centimetres for men and 16 inches or 41 centimetres for women. The rate of 30 steps per minute must be sustained for five minutes or until exhaustion. To ensure the right speed, a metronome is used.
The Cooper test which was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use is a physical fitness test. [1] [2] [3] In its original form, the point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes. Pacing is important, as the participant will not cover a maximal distance if they begin with a pace too close to an all out sprint.
The test items are: Sit-ups: Maximum in one minute; Pull-ups (secondary schools)/Push-ups (ITE/Poly/JC/MI) (for males 15 years old and above) or Inclined Pull-ups (for females and males below 15 years old): Maximum in half-a-minute; Sit-and-Reach: Maximum distance; Shuttle Run: Minimum time for two laps of fixed distance
The Tecumseh step test is an exercise test that researchers use to determine a person's cardiovascular fitness level. The Tecumseh step test is a modified version of the Harvard Step Test , [ 1 ] and was developed by Professor Henry J. Montoye at the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan.
A verbal fluency test is a kind of psychological test in which a participant is asked to produce as many words as possible from a category in a given time (usually 60 seconds). This category can be semantic , including objects such as animals or fruits, or phonemic , including words beginning with a specified letter, such as p , for example. [ 1 ]
The single n-back test used was the visual test, leaving out the audio test. [12] In 2011, the same authors showed long-lasting transfer effect in some conditions. [13] Two studies published in 2012 failed to reproduce the effect of dual n-back training on fluid intelligence. These studies found that the effects of training did not transfer to ...
