What is it?
The FitnessGram is a comprehensive health-related fitness assessment. The
goals of FtinessGram are to promote enjoyable regular physical activity and to
provide comprehensive physical fitness assessments for children and youth.
What tests are given?
Body composition found by measuring the height and weight and finding the
BMI
Muscular strength: Push-ups, curl-ups, trunk lift
Flexibility: Sit and reach
Cardio-vascular endurance: One mile walk/run
How will scores be given to the students?
A printout of the tests will be sent home with the students at the beginning
of the year with the first mid-trimester report cards. A post-test will be
given to all students at the end of the year and the printout will be sent home
with the final report cards. This printout will have both tests on it so
that the student can see the improvements he or she have made.
