Table going off page

Question

I'm unable to keep my table on the page, not sure how to fix it. Help appreciated.

Here is my table:

\begin{landscape}

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}

\multicolumn{7}{c}{\textbf{Data from testing}}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Population information}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Anaerobic power data}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Anaerobic endurance data}\\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Participant number, age, and weight}&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&\multirow{2}{*}{Broad jump (m)}&\multirow{2}{*}{500m row (minutes:seconds)}&Air bike 50 cal (seconds)\\
\cline{3-4}
&&kg&\%bw&&&\\

\multicolumn{7}{|c|}{Trained sprinter}\\

Answer 1

You can use p-type columns (or X-type with tabularx). Or just split long cell contents on multiple lines. In addition, I suggest to use booktabs to prettify your tabular; use caption to add the title.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{booktabs}

      \hline
      \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Population information}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Anaerobic power data}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Anaerobic endurance data}\\
      \hline

      Participant number&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&Broad jump&500m row&Air bike 50 cal \\

Answer 2

I propose a solution with the makecell & geometry packages (the latter to have more decent margins, if you don't use marginal notes). I added some improvements as regards the vertical spacing in table, with the cellspace package:

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{geometry}
    \usepackage{multirow, array}
    \usepackage{lscape}
    \usepackage{makecell}
    \usepackage{cellspace}
    \setlength{\cellspacetoplimit}{4pt}
    \setlength{\cellspacebottomlimit}{4pt}

    \begin{document}

    \begin{landscape}

    \multicolumn{7}{Sc}{\textbf{Data from testing}}\\
