The Department of Physical Education and Sports organized a physical fitness test for First Year students from June 22nd to June 27th, 2023. The test took place in the College Multipurpose Hall and aimed to assess the fitness levels of the students while identifying their strengths and weaknesses. This valuable information would allow the Department to provide appropriate guidance and support to the students.
The fitness test comprised of four main tests to gauge the overall fitness of the students. These tests included sit-ups, standing broad jump, seated medicine ball throw, and V-Sit & Reach. Dr. Ajinkya Kudtarkar, CDPE&S and Mr. Saurabh Raikar, Instructor in Physical Education, demonstrated and explained each test to the students.
To ensure efficient management of the test, the students were divided into four groups. Each group underwent the respective tests, and their scores were recorded. These scores were later compared with the norms provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). Based on the comparison, the students received counseling and guidance tailored to their individual fitness levels and needs.
Overall, the fitness test conducted by the Department of Physical Education and Sports served as an effective means to evaluate the students’ fitness levels.
