Examples are:
**100m sprint - in a sprint the athlete must be trained to work anaerobically throughout the race.
**Marathon - in this case the athlete must be trained to work aerobically and their endurance must be built-up to a maximum.
Fire fighters and police officers must undergo regular Fitness testing to determine if they are capable of the physically demanding tasks required for the job before they are employed. Students in elementary and high school also undergo regular fitness testing. In some countries, students can earn fitness badges, such as the physical fitness badge which is earned in the United States.

Also, when attempting to interpret fitness testing results, it is important to have an idea of what is the relative importance of each of the specific fitness components.
