Why is anthropometric testing a good measure? (more than one answer may be correct...)

• It tells us whether athletes can compete in their chosen sport.

• It allows us to identify the intensity of the participants training programme along with the underpinning of their diet

• To identify body proportions that may be more suited to certain sports.

• To specifically identify if the client is likely to have a heart attack.

These are the 6 tests we will be looking at in the coming weeks...
