    A.)Your aerobic fitness is determined by how low your resting heart rate is, and how low it is during light exercise. It will tell a fitness professional how well you will cope with longer, slower sessions, and intense work. Pretty much everything benefits from a good aerobic base.

    B.)Your training regime will help a professional figure out how much your fitness should have improved and what you will be good at. For example, if a runner works on sprinting work, and has a vast amount of his schedule as sprint work, a professional will assume the athlete has a good sprinting speed. Professionals will also be able to determine how to tailor another plan to assist you even more.

    C.)Anaerobic fitness is actually the ability to remove lactic acid and the ability to inhibit its production, during anaerobic respiration. However, it really is how well the leg and arm muscles work. A test for this would be hill sprints on a treadmill, with blood lactate levels being measured through blood drawn from the finger. This will tell a fitness professional how good your aerobic fitness is (as a good aerobic fitness means good fitness in most other aspects), and will also tell the professional what you can withstand, in terms of anaerobic training.

    D.)A weight training program should be able to be maintained throughout the year. However, there will be days when an athlete pushes too hard. As you lift weights, after around 8-12 reps, depending on the weight and muscle strength, muscle fibres begin to tear slightly. During rest, these grow back, but actually grow back bigger, meaning-more muscle. If you go too hard, you can tear too much muscle and get severe pains, which can take a week to clear up. If you have this problem, you should inform your fitness professional.

    Hope this is what you are looking for James
