<p>Taylor Price</p><p>Professor Cone</p><p>Technology and Assessment- Fall 2016</p><p>14 November 2016</p><p>Assessment Project</p><p>1. To measure the ability to use correct form while doing an Over Head Squat.</p><p>2. This assessment is for clients of any age and is just beginning an exercise program. They will be </p><p> assessed again during the middle and at the end of their exercise program with me.</p><p>3. I would use the rating scale as their pre-test. I would check off what they did correctly and make </p><p> notes about what they did incorrectly. I will refer back to this pre-test when I test them in the </p><p> middle of their program to see what they have improved on and what they still need to work on.</p><p>Then, I would use that rating scale to refer back to for their post-test. </p><p>4. I will be assessing the following during these assessments: -Making sure the arms do not drop, </p><p> spine is neutral, not leaning too far forward, back is not arched or hunched, knees are not </p><p> forward past the toes, knees are in line with toes (no genu valgum or genu varum), and feet are </p><p> straight forward. These are all important to the proper form of an Over Head Squat to ensure </p><p> that injury does not occur.</p><p>5. For each that is listed above, I will use a range for the scale. For example: arms dropping </p><p> forward- 0-3 must fix, 4-6 needs improvement, 7-8 good progress, 9-10 excellent 6. This assessment can take place in the Rowan University Exercise Physiology Lab in front of the </p><p> grid. This will help make sure each client has proper form since I will have a background to judge</p><p> off of. This is a simple bodyweight exercise so no equipment is necessary. The client will face the</p><p> front, and hold their squat for 5 seconds so we have enough time to assess each specific detail. </p><p>Then the client will follow the same procedure facing the side and the back as well, so that I can </p><p> assess from all different angles. </p><p>7. As long as the client scores at least a 7 in all categories, they will pass the Over Head Squat </p><p>Assessment. This will be a formative evaluation because I will take each assessment into </p><p> consideration as far as how much the client has progressed.
