    Skinfold thickness, waist and hip circumference were assessed as an indication of body fat. Skinfold thickness can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.

    Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as the heart pumps blood around the body. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out and diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and fills with blood. In adults, the systolic pressure normally ranges between 80 and 120 and the...

    The shuttle run test is a validated assessment of physcial fitness. In the task, participants have to continuously run between two lines that are twenty meters apart and reach the lines before a recorded beep. Measurements include performance, heart rate, heart rate variability, and lung capacity.

    The peak flow test was used to measure lung capacity as an indication of asthma. The lung capacity is the amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. The test included lung capacity measured at rest and after the shuttle run test.

    Skinfold thickness is an assessment of body fat which can noninvasively and reliably be measured at various sites of the body using a skinfold caliper. Based on measurements at multiple sites of the body, the total body fat and contribution of fat to the body mass can be estimated.

    Bio-electrical impedance is an assessment of body fat. Voltage measurements of weak electric currents that are sent through the body are used to estimate total body water (as a proxy for muscle mass which contains a lot of water) and, by difference with body weight, body fat (which hardly contains water).
