Fitness Challenge
LOOK, LISTEN and LEARN
This is an optional assignment to be completed anytime throughout the year. The student objective is to review the instructional videos and then participate in the 5 tests to measure muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, speed & agility, and cardio-respiratory fitness. Be sure to record your scores in the Fitness Challenge Log. Start with reflection for today.
REFLECTION: Please watch How Fit Are You? Any issues, download the video.
Step 1: Review the 5 fitness test videos with your parent or guardian.
Step 2: Perform each fitness test in accordance with the written rules and procedures.
Step 3: Record each test score on a sheet of paper, and at the end of the assessment transfer all your scores to the Fitness Challenge Log.
Step 4: How did you do? Check the chart below (Qualifying Standards) to see if your fitness level is EXCELLENT (85th percentile), GOOD (50th percentile), or PARTICIPANT (a need for improvement).
Testing Standards
Arms are crossed with hands placed on opposite shoulders.
Knees flexed and feet about 12 inches from buttocks.
Curling up to touch the elbows to thighs.
Shoulder blades return back to the floor, for valid curl up.

Testing Standards

The student then lowers the body until there is a 90-degree angle formed at the elbows.
The student must remain in motion, no resting in the up or down position.

Testing Standards

Feet are 12 inches apart, with measuring line between feet.
With legs held flat by a partner, the student slowly reaches forward as far as possible.
With hands on top of each other, palms down, the student places them on the measuring line.
Record the best of three reaches.
Testing Standards
Start behind two parallel lines 30 feet apart.
Run to the opposite line and back to the starting line.
Repeat this sequence a second time to finish the race.
You must touch the lines with your hand.
Record the best of three runs.
Testing Standards
The student completes a warm up prior to running and a cool down after the run.
On a safe, one mile course, students begin running with a stopwatch to record time.
Walking is allowed, however, students should be encouraged to cover the distance in as short a time as possible.
Record your best time.
85th percentile means your score is better than 85% of the students who took the same test. 50th percentile means your score is better than 50% of the students who took the same test.
