The components of the test are as follows:
1) PACER—cardiovascular or aerobic capacity,
2) Curl-ups—abdominal strength,
3) Push-ups—muscular strength/upper body strength,
4) Trunk lift (flexibility)
5) Sit and Reach (flexibility)
6) BMI (body mass index)—a measure of body composition based on height and weight.
During the 3-5 grade years, 1 fitness report will be sent home to parents, describing the fitness levels of the student in the various components of the Fitness Gram, in comparison to other males/females the same age around the U.S. This report goes home at the end of each the 1st and 3rd semesters
