Fitness Testing

Fitness Testing is currently 'on hold'. We will update with more information as it comes out from the state.

At EMS, we have fall and spring fitness testing aligned with FitnessGram. It is a comprehensive assessment of one's health-related components of physical fitness.

The following are the tests administered, along with the fitness component measured. Videos show an example of each.
