EQUIPMENTS1. Computer installed with HELMAS software2. Card reader3. Measurement Equipments

a. HELMAS Sargent Jump equipmentb. HELMAS Stretchingc. HELMAS Reaction Equipmentd. HELMAS Backbone Strength Measurement Equipmente. HELMAS Sit Up Measurement Equipmentf. Weight Balance with height measurement

Procedure1. Basic body composition measurement are being done which includingmeasurement of the body weight and height of members by using weightbalance with high measurement. The basic data are written down and to be usedin step 4.

2. The computer which installed with HEMAS software are turned on and HELMASsoftware are started. Before entering the member s personal data, the basicsettings of the software had to be make sure is correct.

3. As follow the instructions, members are required to fill the personal informationin the software s Membership Management dialog box.

4. The body composition type data that acquired from step 1 are typed into thedialog box as mention in step 3. By storing the data into the HELMAS card reader,it is now named and can be used on the HELMAS measurement equipments. Thereading for each physical fitness test will be stored inside the HELMAS cardreader.

5. Group members now can start their physical fitness test.6. After finishing doing each test, the data for each test are imported from the card

reader into the software.7. Physical fitness factor and the Total physical fitness can be evaluated from

Evaluation dialog box.8. The results are saved into pendrives.

DISCUSSIONS1. After doing the exercise, we can get the result from the computer. The software

will show each of our member s physical fitness status. From the data gained, weable see that among three of the members, there are some common and also

differences. By comparison,

2. Body Mass Index(BMI) also known as Quadret Index. BMI is defined as theindividual s body weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). By referring to

the range of BMI, we can conclude each person into the categories of underweight , normal , overweight , and obese . It is very important to keepour BMI value in the range of normal as to ensure we are healthy. This isbecause obesity and overweight will increased the risk of getting various diseasessuch as Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Respiratory problem, Arthritis andothers.

CONCLUSIONFor conclusion, we can conclude that marks calculate by the HELMAS software is 60marks for three of the members. This shows that members do not frequently

practice exercise in their daily life. They have high chances of getting injuries whiledoing exercise. Thus, the software had suggested them continuously do someexercise such as swimming, badminton, cycling and chinning exercise at a properintensity, which is 40-70% for 30 to 40 minutes. While for the BMI, two of themembers are fall in the normal range and one of the members is in the range of overweight. This shows that, members of this group still need to exercise frequentlyas to maintain and also to ensure that they are healthy always.
