- W2071179005 abstract "Increased disease risk is associated with low cardiovascular fitness levels and obesity, and low muscular fitness and flexibility can reduce mobility and limit daily activities. Adults are rarely fitness tested to assess these risks unless it is part of military training or heart disease diagnosis. Literature on perception of fitness has assessed many ways of predicting fitness, but the results do not agree on the accuracy of fitness perception. PURPOSE This study evaluated perception of fitness with a complete fitness model, including body composition. METHODS This study asked subjects to predict their fitness measurements in four components of fitness and overall fitness using a five part semantic scale. Participant fitness was then evaluated with a Cooper 12-minute run test, a seven-site skinfold test, a push-up test to exhaustion, a one-minute partial curl-up test, and a modified sit-and-reach test. RESULTS The results of the study found that subjects (N=58) overestimated cardiovascular fitness (p<.01) and flexibility (p<.01) while underestimating percent body fat (p<.05) and muscular fitness (p<.01). Furthermore, obese subjects had an inaccurate perception of body composition (p<.01), while nonobese subjects accurately predicted their body composition. Average overall fitness was perceived to be higher than any of the fitness component perceptions, suggesting it was not predicted based on the four fitness components. Also, a gender difference in the accuracy in perceived fitness was evident. Men (N=12) had more accurate perceptions than women (N=46) in this sample. CONCLUSIONS Fitness testing is recommended as a useful tool since perception of fitness is not a good measure of physical fitness. Emphasis in fitness testing should be placed on cardiovascular fitness and body composition because of the higher risks associated with low fitness, and the tendency for the high risk population to have an inaccurate fitness perception." @default.
