E2 News - Sports For Life 18 Oct 2008



Bedok South Secondary School is organising Sports for Life Run / Walk Assessment event on Sat 18 Oct 2008 at Temasek JC from 7.30am - 10am


ABOUT FITNESS ASSESSMENT - WALK is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking an active and healthy lifestyle. It asseses an individual's fitness level over a 2km walk. It is also prescribed as a basic exercise for all Singaporeans, especially those who are mostly inactive in most sports or lead a sedentary lifestyle. It is also ideal for senior citizens and housewives starting out on their individual assessments.
The Walk is normally conducted on a 400m track where the participants walk briskly and at an even pace for 5 laps. The time taken to complete, together with the participant's heart rate at the end of the walk, his/her height, weight and age, are used to compute and evaluate the 'Fitness Category' achieved.



2. FITNESS ASSESSMENT - RUN is an excellent way to measure cardiorespiratory (aerobic) fitness. It covers 2.4km and it is possible to assess your physical condition in terms of cardiovascular fitness based on the time taken to complete the distance. The Run is normally conducted on a 400m track where the participants run continuously at a personal best pace for 6 laps. The time taken to complete the distance is used to determine the award based on the aerobic fitness classification
