Physical Capacity Evaluation (PCE) A three-hour assessment of physical abilities, inclusive of: lifting, carrying, ambulation, and stairs, sitting and standing tolerances, pushing and pulling.

Physical ability tests typically ask individuals to perform job-related tasks requiring manual labor or physical skill. These tasks measure physical abilities such as strength, muscular flexibility, and stamina.

Measurement of an individual's physical capacity has commonly relied on self-report of ability to do, and difficulty in doing, discrete functions that are the building blocks of activities, such as reaching or grasping for objects, lifting, climbing stairs, or walking distances.

One classification conceptualizes physical ability as being composed of nine dimensions: static strength, explosive strength, dynamic strength, trunk strength, extent flexibility, dynamic flexibility, gross body coordination, gross body equilibrium, and stamina.

A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an evaluation of a person's functional capacity in relation to a job's demands. The FCE involves aspects of lifting, carrying, pushing/pulling, balance, fine motor, and cardiovascular tolerance.
