Here is an example of a subject performing an exercise stress test. For details about the procedure and treadmill speeds to use see our page on the Bruce Protocol Treadmill Stress Test. This is a good video if you are to do such a test to get an idea of what is involved.

See a 240-pound fullback completes the Illinois Agility Drill in the excellent time of 13.25 seconds. By the amount of sweat on him, it is obviously at the end of a workout, which makes it even more impressive.

From the Wokingham Hockey Club, the team is put through it’s paces on the Illinois Agility Fitness Test. It gets a little repetitive, but you get to see a range of abilities and some poor test performances.

Here a guy named Ryan puts himself through the commonly used Illinois Agility fitness test. He made it around in 18.05 seconds – where 16-18 seconds is an average score. I think that his score was limited because of the uneven surface, and the place that the course was set up not allowing for him to run through at the end limited his time.

A nicely edited video showing someone in training for a joggling marathon. As weird as it sounds, it looks natural to be running and juggling at the same time.

Joggling is an unusual sport which combines running and juggling. There are events ranging from 100m up to the marathon. In this video example, Eric Walter runs the 400m while juggling 3 balls (Joggling), setting an Official Guinness World Record of 55.81 sec. As per the rules, if a ball is dropped, the athlete has to return to the place that the ball was dropped. See more about the sport of Joggling.

Ryan performing underwater weighing (hydro-static weighing) to determine body density and subsequently percentage body fat. See how he blows all the air out of his lungs. This is a necessary step as it can affect his buoyancy and therefore the weight measured in the water.

Another excellent video by Dr Anthony Bull, giving an introduction to body composition assessment, particularly the basics of fat, muscle, and body density, and the method of hydrostatic weighing to estimate body density and thus body fat.

A video of a lecture on calculating percentage body fat from skinfold measurements. It is not very exciting, but gives a practical example of using the equations to calculate body fat levels. See more about the Jackson & Pollock body density equations.

Dr Exercise demonstrates the landmarks used for the common skinfold meaurements of the lower and mid body sections. See also his other videos. He uses a skeleton to demonstrate the boney landmarks to help you understand what points of the body to use to accurately and consistently measure the skinfold meaurements. It is a long video but well worth having a look.
