Physical Fitness Test

2019-2020



Dear Parent or Guardian:


This test is part of the California assessment system. California has chosen the FITNESSGRAM® as the annual PFT for students in public schools. The FITNESSGRAM® is a comprehensive health-related fitness test developed by The Cooper Institute.


The FITNESSGRAM® fitness areas being tested are:

• Aerobic Capacity

• Abdominal Strength and Endurance

• Upper Body Strength and Endurance

• Flexibility

Your child’s score report shows his or her overall score in each of the six fitness areas. The goal is for every student to be in the Healthy Fitness Zone. This means students can reach a level of activity that offers some protection against the diseases resulting from physical inactivity. A student classified as “Needs Improvement” in an area of fitness would benefit from more activity in that specific area.

The test results are just one way to look at how well our students are doing. We use the results to find areas where students can improve, perform a mid year check in and test at the end of the year. For more information

Sincerely,

Ms. Merg
