My Project

For nearly 50 years, students have been participating in the FitnessGram in Physical Education classes at their schools. The FITNESSGRAM fitness test evaluates five different parts of health-related fitness, including aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

The goal of FitnessGram is for all children to be in the Healthy Fitness Zone in all five components.

Research shows the data needed to improve fitness and fight childhood obesity. Together with teachers, school administrators, legislators, business partners, and healthcare professionals, we can make sure that the students of today grow up to be the healthy workers of tomorrow. We want every child to build healthy habits today so they can live well into the future. Students participating in the FitnessGram assessment gain a better understanding of their own health-related fitness. Schools that include the FitnessGram assessment in their physical education programs are better equipped to meet student fitness needs and teach healthy habits that will last well into the future. To test students' flexibility we will be completing the Sit and Reach test. My school is in need of a Sit n' Reach Trunk Flexibility Assessment Testing Box. We service over 800 students and are excited to get the FitnessGram started but we need your help!
