 Method to award credit for the Health and wellness course

Students will be awarded one credit for the HEALTH AND WELLNESS course upon
successful completion of the evaluation process for the following criteria.

Criteria Title Method of Evaluation

Criteria- Attendance Attend at least 60% of both theory and practical classes.
1 - Students who do not meet this requirement will not be
eligible to proceed to attain the next criteria.

Criteria - Attend the Physical The faculty handling the class will use the tests from the
2 Fitness Assessment Fitness Protocols and Guidelines for ages 18+ to 65 years,
criteria set forth by the as set forth by FIT India. Measurements will be taken for
FIT India Fitness all the tests of the FIT India Fitness Protocol and the
Protocols and evaluation will be based on the benchmark score received
Guidelines for for the following tests:
individuals aged 18+ to
65 years. 1. V Sit Reach Test

2. Partial Curl Up - 30 seconds

3. Push Ups (Male) and Modified Push Up (Female)

4. Two (2) Km Run/Walk

Students who achieve a total benchmark score of 8 across

the aforementioned 4 tests will be proclaimed as having
passed the course and will be eligible for one credit.

Criteria - Special Circumstances Physically challenged and medically unfit students can opt
3 for an objective test to demonstrate their knowledge of the
subjects taught. Based on their performance in the
objective test, they will proclaimed as having passed the
course and will be awarded one credit.

Criteria - Special Considerations Students who enrolled themselves in the NCC during the
4 - NCC course period (between the start and end dates of the
program) and attended 5 college level parades will be
proclaimed as having passed the course and will be
awarded one credit without considering their performance
in Criterion 2.

APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University 79

 Tests to evaluated as per Criterion - 2 and Benchmark Scores

V Sit Reach Test

How to Perform:

1. The subject removes their shoes and sits on the floor with the measuring line between their
legs and the soles of their feet placed immediately behind the baseline, heels 8-12" apart.

2. The thumbs are clasped so that hands are together, palms facing down and placed on the
measuring line.

3. With the legs held flat by a partner, the subject slowly reaches forward as far as possible,
keeping the fingers on baseline and feet flexed.

4. After three tries, the student holds the fourth reach for three seconds while that distance is
recorded.

5. Make sure there are no jerky movements, and that the fingertips remain level and the legs
flat.

Infrastructure/Equipment Required:

1. A tape for marking the ground, marker pen, and ruler.

2. With the tape mark a straight line two feet long on the floor as the baseline, and a
measurement line perpendicular to the midpoint of the baseline extending two feet on each
side.

3. Use the marker pen to indicate every centimeter and millimeter along the measurement
line. The point where the baseline and the measuring line intersect is the zero point.

Scoring: The score is recorded in centimeters and millimeters as the distance reached by the
hand, which is the difference between the zero point (where the baseline and measuring line
intersect) and the final position.

Partial Curl Up - 30 seconds

How to Perform:

1. The subject lies on a cushioned, flat, clean surface with knees flexed, usually at 90 degrees,
with hands straight on the sides (palms facing downwards) closer to the ground, parallel to
the body.

2. The subject raises the trunk in a smooth motion, keeping the arms in position, curling up
the desired amount (at least 6 inches above/along the ground towards the parallel strip).

3. The trunk is lowered back to the floor so that the shoulder blades or upper back touch the
floor.

Infrastructure/Equipment Required:

Flat clean cushioned surface with two parallel strips (6 inches apart), Stopwatch

Scoring: Record the maximum number of Curl ups in a certain time period 30 seconds.

Push Ups for Male/Modified Push Ups for Female

How to Perform:

1. A standard push up begins with the hands and toes touching the floor, the body and legs in
a straight line, feet slightly apart, the arms at shoulder width apart, extended and at a right
angle to the body.

2. Keeping the back and knees straight, the subject lowers the body to a predetermined point,
to touch some other object, or until there is a 90-degree angle at the elbows, then returns back
to the starting position with the arms extended.

3. This action is repeated, and the test continues until exhaustion, or until they can do no
more in rhythm or have reached the target number of push-ups.

4. For Female: push-up technique is with the knees resting on the ground.

Infrastructure/Equipment Required:

Flat clean cushioned surface/Gym mat

2 Km Run/Walk

How to Perform:

1. Participants are instructed to run or walk 2 kms in the fastest possible pace.

2. The participants begin on signal (Starting point)- “ready, start”. As they cross the finish
line, elapsed time should be announced to the participants.

3. Walking is permitted but the objective is to cover the distance in the shortest possible time.

Infrastructure/Equipment Required:

Stopwatch, whistle, marker cone, lime powder,

measuring tape, 200 or 400 m with 1.22 m (minimum 1 m) width preferably on a flat and
even playground with a marking of starting and finish line. You can also use any application
