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.

FiT WORK #19 - THE CONCUSSION PLAYBOOK

DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD

If you happen to be watch football, you may have seen players being escorted off the football field and into the locker room. They are usually taken out of the football game after attempting to make a tackle, or being tackled, hitting the ground hard, and often temporarily losing consciousness. In order to avoid further injury, they are not allowed to return to the game, and instead have to undergo medical testing to properly diagnose the severity of a possible concussion.

Sometimes a player does not lose consciousness and may not appear as hurt initially. In a recent game the wide receiver was viciously tackled after catching a pass across the middle of the football field. After the catch, he jogged a few steps then stumbled to the ground, appearing disoriented. However, he stayed in the game and later when he ran out for another pass, he dropped it, and he fell to the ground. Then, rather than quickly getting up, he took a long time to stand and walk back to the huddle.

These are two prime examples of what to do, and what not to do, when you suspect that you, a teammate, or a friend or family member has suffered a concussion. Since concussions don't just happen in football, or even while playing sports, it's important to know the symptoms, who you can ask for help, and what to do in order to properly recover and heal.
