Measurement Units
I have tried to keep the details of tests consistent. Most of the units of measurement are in the metric system (as used by me and most of the world). Exceptions are when only non metric norms are available or the test is specifically non metric (e.g. 1 mile run test). I have also made an effort to use the American English spelling, even though I am based in Australia, as most of the visitors to this site will be from the USA.
More Tests?
I have tried to include all of the commonly used fitness tests. There are many more that are conducted around the world, and I have many more to add. I welcome any suggestions. If you wish to suggest a test that is not listed, or to add information or a comment to one that is already here, please e-mail me.
