factors, including:
•
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
•
time of day
•
time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
•
time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least four hours is rec-
ommended)
•
time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three
scores.
