The
Physical Fitness Test recognizes students for their level of physical fitness
in 5
events: partial curl-ups, shuttle run, endurance run/walk, pull-ups or
right angle push-ups, and sit and reach.
The Physical Fitness Test offers three
awards for students who meet the program
qualifications:
The Presidential Physical Fitness Award
This award recognizes students who
achieve an outstanding level of physical fitness. Boys and girls who score at
or above the 85th percentile (based on the 1985 School Population Fitness
Survey) on all five events are eligible for this award.
The National Physical Fitness Award
Students who score above the 50th
percentile on all five events - demonstrating a basic, yet challenging, level
of physical fitness - are eligible for this award.
The Participant Physical Fitness Award
Students whose scores fall below the
50th percentile on one or more events receive this award for taking part in
all five events of the Physical Fitness Test.
