tests also measure muscular strength. In these tests, the weights are lower and therefore the repetitions are higher (as compared to muscular strength tests). These tests are better suited for people with health conditions or those who are coming from a sedentary lifestyle. The push-up test and the half-sit-up test are examples of this type of testing.

is tested indirectly using estimation. Response to submaximal workload heart rate is used to estimate maximal oxygen uptake. This means that using a less than a hundred percent effort, the heart rate produced is then taken and a formula is used to compute the full uptake of oxygen in exercise.
