KINS 1583: Foundations of Assessment in KINS

TGMD3 Project Directions

This assignment consists of you administering the TGMD3 and turning in a variety of assessment forms in a power point presentation. You need to take pictures of your subject/child performing some of the activities in the assessment and embedding them in your Power point. You’ll then need to describe what activities you would suggest to assist the subject in the development of the appropriate skilled movement. Following is the format and the points associated with each item included in your power point.

Turn in the following: Total of 50 points

 PowerPoint Presentation (40 pts)

· Introduction slide – Title page (2 pt)

· Introduce the TGMD3 – description (2 pts)

· Introduce your subject (under the circumstances, this doesn’t need to be someone between the ages of 3-11, but they are supposed to be). Your subject could be a friend or family member. (2 pts )

· Imbed pictures of your subject performing the TGMD-3 (10 pts total – 5 each)

· 2 pictures of the skills that the TGMD-3 participant did poorly, or not as good as the other skills (weaknesses)

· TGMD-3 Test Results (10 pts)

· In paragraph form explain the TGMD-3 test results (submit the entire subtest score sheet separately)

· Identify one weakness from Locomotor skills and one from Ball skills from the results

· Describe 2 activities to address the TGMD-3 skills identified as weaknesses (one slide each worth 5 ponits -10 pts total)

· What did you do well during the assessment? (2 pts)

· What would you do differently the next time you gave this assessment? (2 pts)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

• This assignment consists of you administering the TGMD 3 on someone

between the ages of 3 to 10.

• Before you do your testing, you might want to review the power point

instructions & watch the video links that demonstrate the use of the TGMD

3.

• Because of the current situation, you can perform this assessment on anyone

and “choose” an age between 3 to 10 (that they are pretending to be).

• You will then be using the results from performing the TGMD 3 to make a

power point presentation.

YOUR PROJECT IS WORTH 50 POINTS
POWER POINT = 40 POINTS

TGMD 3 SCORE SHEET = 10 POINTS

• Power point (40

pts)

• Introduction slide – Title page (2 pt)

• Introduce the TGMD 3 – description (2 pts)

• Introduce your subject (under the circumstances, this doesn’t need to be

someone between the ages of 3 – 10, but they are supposed to be). Your

subject could be a friend or family member. (2 pts )

• Imbed pictures of your subject performing the TGMD 3 (10 pts total – 5

each)

• The 2 pictures should be of the skills that the TGMD 3 participant did poorly, or not as

good as the other skills (weaknesses)

POWER POINT (CONTINUED)

• TGMD 3 Results (10 pts)

• In paragraph form explain the TGMD 3 results (submit the entire subtest score sheet

separately)

• Describe 2 activities to address the skills identified as weaknesses (one

slide each worth 5 points -10 pts total)

• What did you do well during the assessment? (2 pts)

• What would you do differently the next time you give this assessment? (2

pts)

SENIOR FITNESS TEST SCORE SHEET (10 PTS)

SENIOR FITNESS PROJECT

KINS 1583: FOUNDATIONS OF ASSESMENT IN KINS

-Barsha GHIMIRE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this project, a functional physical test is performed on an adult which meets scientific standard for reliability and validity. This test has been performed with a simple, easy to use test items which helped in assessing the functional fitness and actual performance of the adult. This test was performed using developmental procedures acquired from ”Senior fitness test manual” to implement the test safely and accurately using the equipment required. Also, the test was administer and scored as per the manual.

INTRODUCTION
a functional fitness test is a progression of tests directed in a clinical setting that reflect the actual requests of the particular position an applicant will be examined in. Based on customized analysis this test were developed to take note of physical requirements for performing positional tests and in this project, we performed the following tests:
Chair Stand
Arm Curl Test
2-Minute Step Test
Chair Sit-and-Reach Test
Back Scratch Test
8-Foot Up-and Go Test

Introduction to subject focused in this project
The person involved in this project is brother of mine. He is 60(suppose) years old male with an activity level from beginner to moderate. These exercises have been performed by the subject under safe and vigilant circumstances. All the steps required to perform the exercises mentioned in the project were shown in a demonstration to the subject and were accurately performed. The subject has performed these activities with utmost conviction and in a cooperative manner.

Pictures of subject performing the test

These are the photos of subject performing ARM curls(8LB resistance band) here the subject was moving the elbow position instead of stabilizing and moving the arms to perform curls.

Fitness skilled identified as weaknesses
ARM CURLS
Client needs to maintain current workout routine with an improved accuracy on doing bicep curls especially with proper range of motion. Adding weights to bicep curls or adding tension to muscle strands would improve strength in muscle fibers and its stretch range and making sure not to involve shoulder. This is one of the exercise with low arm strength.

CHAIR SIT/ REACH
Client needs to maintain current workout routine with an improved accuracy on doing CHAIR SIT. In the flow of the exercise, especially when stretching to touch the feet, the knee joint isn’t straight enough and has a bent knee which defeats the purpose of the exercise itself. Regular stretching would help in proper form of exercise where lower back and knee are placed in proper form.

POSITIVES IN PERFORMING THE assessment
The exercises were performed accurately with proper form and in vigilant conditions, subject were monitored and been assessed with proper count, recorded in the test sheet. To and fro communication between the subject and myself helped the subject to learn about the exercises and perform them for the targeted area.

What would you do differently next time
Would educate and help in stretching earlier and then would record for the testing as I could see that the subject was getting better results as they spend a while before we see better results for the same exercise. Hence, warming up before taking the results for the test would help in getting better results.
