KIN 3502 Exam 3 (120+ Questions) – Fitness Assessment, Flexibility, Body Composition – Louisiana State University

This advanced exam prep document contains over 120 high-yield questions and correct answers for KIN 3502: Measurement and Evaluation in Kinesiology at Louisiana State University (LSU) for the 2025/2026 academic year. Specifically designed for Exam 3, it explores the full range of physical fitness testing methods and interpretations relevant to kinesiology, exercise science, and health assessment fields. Key topics include: Cardiorespiratory fitness assessment: VO2 max, submaximal and maximal exercise testing, aerobic capacity, and laboratory vs. field methods Muscular strength and endurance: contractions (isometric, concentric, eccentric, isokinetic), testing protocols (1-RM, push-up test, sit-up test), and equipment like dynamometers Flexibility: joint-specific ROM, lab (radiography, goniometry) and field (sit-and-reach) assessments, and considerations like specificity, warm-up, and age/gender influences Motor fitness and functional capacity in older adults: balance, reaction time, movement time, and sarcopenia Youth fitness testing: AAHPERD, Fitnessgram, and Brockport test batteries including PACER, curl-up, trunk lift, and standards for health-related vs. motor fitness Body composition: lean vs. fat mass, essential vs. storage fat, BMI, WHR, hydrostatic weighing, and density values Obesity classifications: android vs. gynoid obesity, health implications, and measurement techniques National standards: PA guidelines, test standardization, and program evaluation strategies Clinical and school-based considerations: testing modifications for children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities The Q&A format mirrors real exam phrasing and includes terminology, testing protocols, gold standard methods, and applied scenarios. It’s a high-utility study tool for reinforcing theory, memorizing classifications, and applying assessment techniques in health and kinesiology contexts. Perfect for students in: – Kinesiology – Exercise Science – Athletic Training – Physical Therapy / Pre-PT – Health & Physical Education – Public Health – Fitness Assessment & Biomechanics courses Keywords: KIN 3502, exam 3, cardiorespiratory fitness, VO2 max, aerobic capacity, physical activity testing, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility testing, ROM, sit-and-reach, dynamometers, sarcopenia, motor fitness, functional capacity, youth fitness, Fitnessgram, Brockport test, PACER, curl-up, body composition, lean mass, fat mass, BMI, WHR, hydrostatic weighing, android obesity, gynoid obesity, LSU kinesiology
