Fitness Testing

Fitnessgram is a fitness assessment and reporting program for youth. The assessment includes a variety of health-related physical fitness tests that assess aerobic capacity; muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility; and body composition. Scores from these assessments are compared to Healthy Fitness Zone standards to determine students' overall physical fitness and suggest areas for improvement when appropriate.
 

A key feature of Fitnessgram is its ability to generate printed reports for students and parents. Fitnessgram reports define the recommended range of fitness for each test measure. When a child's score falls within the Healthy Fitness Zone, it means the child has achieved a level of fitness associated with being healthy.


The Fitnessgram report provides information about the student's level of physical fitness in an easy-to-read format. More important, the report provides personalized suggestions that can help in planning an individualized fitness plan.


Fitness Tests are given twice a year (Fall and Spring).  The students will continually work on the elements in the Fitnessgram tests throughout the school year in order to improve their level of physical fitness.
