Now get into teams and devise a different test to the bleep test - what kind of things do you think show people's level of fitness?
How do you know that you are fit?
Work out three different tasks that could be used to test people's fitness. How would you measure each one?
Use the internet to help you find out more about fitness and how you can improve your fitness.
Write a plan detailing your test.
