The FITNESSGRAM
is the State of California mandated physical fitness assessment
given to students in grades 5, 7, and 9. Results determine
if a student falls within the Healthy Fitness Zone for six
individual tests as a measure of overall fitness.
The
battery of tests include:
Mile Run or PACER
tests for aerobic capacity
Push-Up, Curl-Up, Trunk Lift, and Back Saver Sit and Reach
tests for muscular strength, endurance and flexibility
Skinfold Measurement or
Body Mass Index (BMI)
determines body composition (BMI is determined
in a formula that represents a relationship between
height and weight.)
A student who falls within the Healthy
Fitness Zone for all six tests may be considered “fit
overall.” The
results can be used to develop an individual fitness plan
for each individual student to maintain lifelong wellness.
