FiT Work #20: Physical Fitness Test

DUE @ END OF THE PERIOD

FitnessGram is a fitness assessment and reporting program for youth, first developed by the Cooper Institute in response to the need for a comprehensive set of assessment procedures in physical education programs.The assessment includes a variety of health-related physical fitness tests. Scores from these assessments are compared to healthy fitness zone standards to determine students’ overall physical fitness and suggest areas for improvement when appropriate.

The healthy fitness zone standards are not based on class averages or any other peer comparisons. They are what is called criterion-referenced standards that are based on recommended levels of fitness needed for good health. The standards are set specifically for boys and girls of various ages using the best available research. The healthy fitness zone standards were established by a FitnessGram scientific advisory board, which includes some of the foremost scientists and practitioners in fitness and physical activity.
