Failure to provide adequate feedback based on the data set provided with mostly irrelevant or incorrect interpretations of the data. E (30-39%) Poor – Insufficient understanding of the physiological assessments, safety considerations and the level communication required. Insufficient understanding of the physiological concepts and how data is interpreted in the client feedback. D (40-49%) Pass - Basic understanding of the physiological assessments, safety considerations and the level of communication required when testing. Basic level of data interpretation and a basic understanding of theoretical concepts. Understanding may be partial or accuracy may be questionable. Inaccuracies and misconceptions are evident.
