From the supplier: University and collegiate physical education programs normally include a course in measurement and evaluation. However, many physical educators criticize such courses for excessively stressing theoretical concepts which are hard to apply to real situations. An ideal way of addressing the problem is by using school-based experiences to test students' fitness levels. Such a program can be beneficial since it effectively mixes theory with actual practice.
