Fitness Testing

OIS has adopted FITNESSGRAM, a comprehensive fitness assessment for youth, for grades 3-5 to be administered in PE class 3 times a school-year. FITNESSGRAM includes a variety of health-related physical fitness tests designed to assess cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Criterion-referenced standards associated with good health have been established for children for each of the health-related fitness components.

At OIS, students will be assessed on 3 of the 5 health-related fitness components.

1. Cardiovascular Endurance (1/2 mile, mile and pacer test)

2. Muscular Strength (push-ups and pull-ups)

3. Muscular Endurance (plank)
