Straight Leg Raise

Good

Left Angle
RIGHT Angle
This 90/90 position measures the flexibility of our hamstrings (posterior thigh muscles).  These muscles attach to the knee and pelvis, so if they are tight, it can affect the joints from the lower back down to the ankle.  If hamstrings are tight, all movements such as walking, jogging, or ascending/descending stairs can cause excessive stress on the low back and knees.

Max Pushups

Good

Maximum Repetitions

23

This test involves the strength of the upper body and the ability of our core to stabilize the spine.  It is a good test to evaluate gross strength and stabilization. The most difficult part of a push up is the ability to maintain good form by recruiting small muscle groups that hold our body in the straight plank position.  There are many small exercises that can be done to improve the form, strength, and endurance of a push up.

Max Plank Hold

Exceptional

Maximum Hold Time (sec)

120

The plank is an isometric test to evaluate the ability of the core muscles to hold the spine and pelvis stable all the while maintaining neutral upper and lower extremity alignment.  Having a strong core will reduce your chance of lower back injury and improve sports performance. This is a simple but advanced exercise that will result in great fitness gains as it will improve your posture, balance, and help to decrease back pain.

Quadruped

Good

Maintains Balance
SAME SIDES
OPPOSITE SIDES
Neutral Spine
Level Pelvis
Sides Scapula remains stable on throax
Quality of InternaL Rotation Motion
This dynamic test highlights our core strength by our ability to stabilize the spine, as well as our ability to know where our body is in space.  We also consider the strength and range of motion capabilities of the upper and lower extremities as they move away from the body and challenge the core.  Breaking down this movement into multiple pieces can help improve your core strength, extremity range of motion, and balance/proprioception.

Jumping Jacks

Exceptional

RESTING HEART RATE

65

ELEVATED HEART RATE

145

RECOVERY HEART RATE

101

ABIlITY TO MAINTAIN ACTIVITY 
FOR DURATION
Our cardiovascular health can be measured by how well our elevated heart rate recovers back down to our resting heart rate after exercise.  The less time it takes to get your elevated heart rate back down to your normal resting heart rate, the more “in shape” your cardiovascular system may be. Having a strong cardiovascular system can reduce your risk for potential serious medical conditions and will also improve sport performance and daily activities.

Seated Thoracic Rotation

Amount of Thoracic Rotation motion
LEFT
RIGHT
Quality of Thoracic Rotation motion
Limited thoracic (upper back) rotation and extension limits our ability to assume neutral posture while sitting and standing. It can also limit us in sports such as golf or tennis.  If we are limited in our mid back mobility, it forces us into a rounded and slouched postures.  This puts strain on our neck, shoulders, and upper back.  It can also contribute to headaches and lower back pain. Conversely, if you are too flexible in your spine, you can also be susceptible to injury.  You will need to strengthen and stabilize to avoid injuries.
