Forum 3:

For this forum refer back to the reading assignments that you used to prepare the WK3 Assignment. These are:

Janet M. Warren, Ulf Ekelund, Herve Besson, Alessandro Mezzanine, Nickos Geladas and Luc Vanhees, Assessment of physical activity - a review of methodologies with reference to epidemiological research: a report of the exercise physiology section of the European Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation, European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation 2010 17: 127

What are some of the things that might affect how we measure physical fitness in the field? Think in terms of both equipment and experimenter along with dealing with human subjects in general. Be specific and provide examples.

Another thing to think about this is the actual qualifications of measurements. For example, many of us who are very fit are in the overweight category on a BMI chart. Do you know anyone who might be affected by this? Please explain.

Once there scroll down and search for the fitness and wellness database for accredited certification agencies. Explore those agencies. Look at each one carefully paying attention to the areas of focus and specialization of each.

Determine which one you would be most interested in seeking certification through. Explain to us why this agency is the best fit for you per your own career goals and interests.
