The 30 Meter Dash
The 30 metre dash is a test on your ability of speed from a flying
start. There is a path measured of 30 metres, you must do a slight jog
up to the line then sprint as fast as you can across the finish line
being timed.
This test is testing your anaerobic fitness and the muscles in your
quadriceps and calves as you are sprinting for just 30 metres. Also it
is testing if you have shot busts of power.
The type of person who would use this type of test would be a 100
metre sprinter as they can train in separate lengths. Also this test
would be excellent for a football striker, as they need short bursts
of power to run after or with the ball towards the goal. Also they
would use this test to see how much strength and power is in there
legs.
The rule and regulations of this test would be that firstly you must
be timed for the full 30 metre run and not any less.
Also you must be timed as soon as you start sprinting on the 30 metres
line and stopped soon as you finished. You may not just start
sprinting any closer on the track or any further.
The reason why a person may not do very well on this test, is that the
floor could be very slippery and uneven. Also it maybe unfair as the
teacher may not start the stop watch right and either add on time or
take off time. Also another reason, maybe due to the weather being
cold. When I did the test I got 3.71 seconds, which I was pleased
with however I believe I could have done better as I had a cold and
was ill.
Agility Test
The agility test is testing your speed and agility. Also it is testing
your co-ordination and reaction speed. Also it is testing you on your
speed within short distances as you turn and sprint.
The agility test is when you start lying on your stomach and as soon
During the 1960’s, there was a rising tide of protests that were taking place. College students began to stand up for their rights and protest for a stronger voice in society. The United States was going through a tough period marked by the Cold War against communism and also the war in Vietnam. From Truman to Nixon the United States government involved the country more and more in Vietnam. Nixon announced a new policy in 1968 called Vietnamization. (Foner, 4th edition, pg.1028) This policy would bring American troops back home, but it neither limited the war nor ended the antiwar movements.
A runner must use a strategy that is specific to that style of racing. If a distance runner attempts to apply pacing to a short sprint he has lost the race before approaching the start. Although racing strategies differ between every individual race it is possible to associate some basic strategies used in particular types of races. These techniques are common amongst the runners of a particular event but vary compared to runners of different types of races.
Many people argue that cross country is one of the hardest, most physically challenging sports there is out there. A lot of people shudder at the idea of running two or more miles on hilly, steep, muddy and rocky trails. The funny thing about that is that is not even the worst part. In order to run two to four miles in races, one must prepare. “How do you prepare your body to run this long?” one might ask. That is where my argument comes in. Being a cross country runner of four years, I have seen, done and heard of a plethora of ways and strategies to become a successful cross country runner. Some are outlandish, ridiculous and just plain out stupid; but some are also rewarding, beneficial and worth the hard work. Personally, I feel like having a good strong balanced diet, learning how to pace yourself and maintain a positive, motivational attitude and the key ingredients in being a successful cross country runner.
Any diverse group of organisms will not respond identically to a standard test; some will respond positively, and some will respond negatively. The student population of the United States is an extremely varied group, and students will respond differently to the same "standard" test. The format of the current standardized test, all multiple-choice questions, does not allow for variables among the test takers. In fact, the test attempts to erase all the variables and create a uniform ...
The late sixties was a time of turmoil in the United States. It was a transition period between the psychedelic sixties and the revolutionary seventies. The youth of the United States was becoming increasingly aware of the politics of war, the draft and other general misuses of governmental power. With the Democratic National Convention being held in Chicago during 1968, political tensions were running high throughout the city. Numerous protests were held during the time surrounding the convention in protest of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s policies on the Vietnam War. Most notably, the group of Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, David Dillinger, John Froines, Lee Weiner and Bobby Seale...
The 1960’s in American History is undoubtedly one of the most important decades and is easily one of the most important times in the development of our nation. Political outrage seemed to grow rapidly amongst many communities like the Bay of Pigs incident, the African-American civil rights movement, and, in specific the anti-war movement created by a group of radicals, The Chicago Seven. This group was made up of seven men Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, and Lee Weiner. Abbie Hoffman, the leader of The Chicago Seven, created protest against racism, war, capitalism, greed, polluting industries, and moral puritanism.(Engelbert 258). Hoffman began to unite people together under one same cause,

In response to great opposition to United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War, the antiwar movement of the 1960s sprung forth. A vast majority of involvement in this movement was represented on college campuses across the nation. Many college students wholeheartedly believed that the war in Vietnam served no point. America was simply once again sticking its nose in business that was not our own. As a result of the war, universities nationwide in the sixties were in uproar as students attempted to express their opinions through both violent and nonviolent means.
Endurance running is a rewarding experience that puts to test an athlete’s courage, perseverance and determination. It is a marvelous wonder how the human body, with the proper conditioning and mental focus, could achieve such tasking running distance. Elite runners complete the marathon course in just over 2 hours, while the average runner completes it in about 4.5 hours. It’s difficult to comprehend how someone could run, consistently, for 4.5 hours.The actual marathon is simply a formality as the journey starts the day training begins. The outcome, the day of the marathon, is dependent on how successful the training program was executed. Long distance runners are the biggest advocates of the sport, always convincing others to jump on the training wagon. However, some runners, while they refuse to admit it, ponder if the effects of long distance running could be doing more damage than good. It is true that long distance running is potentially dangerous to the heart; however, research suggests that physician examination, as well as proper mechanics and posture during the training phase would ensure an enjoyable journey towards reaching an endurance goal injury free and would even benefit the heart in the long run.
The tests help to speed up the process of hiring new staff in businesses. My thoughts prior attempting psychometric tests have changed; I now think they are key when hiring new employees, as having the best employees will lead to a successful business. Having attempted the tests, I now know what I need to improve on to ensure I have the best chances of employability. There are a number of resource available which I can use to improve my test performance and by practising I will know exactly what to expect when applying for placements and graduate jobs in the near
I dip my toes in—feels cold. My nerves rise up and spread like fire throughout my body while I watch—while I wait. Stomach hurts. All those butterflies clash and crowd. They come every time that I race—it never fails. There is so much noise—the splash of water, talking, yelling, whistling, cheering.
Going into the first race we had not expected much since Susan and I had never run this type of race. There were so many crucial things that we had to remember. It wasn't just to get out of the blocks and burn up the track; there was a baton involved, a certain amount of steps to take, and even a certain way to hold the baton.
