Abstract

This chapter addresses methods for testing endurance and strength ­performance capacity. Following a short discussion about the physiological aspects of endurance and strength demands, contraindications for participating in physical fitness testing are presented. This is followed by examples of specific methods for measuring these states of fitness. Subsequently, how training recommendations can be derived from the respective test results and transferred into experimental protocols focusing on the effects of exercise on brain function is described.
