FitnessGram
Ottawa Township High School uses FitnessGram as our nationally recognized fitness test to assess our student's individual fitness levels. The results for individual reports of the tests are available upon request to your teacher.
Why FitnessGram?
FitnessGram® is the most widely used youth physical fitness assessment, education and reporting tool in the world. Based on Healthy Fitness Zone® standards, created by the FitnessGram Scientific Advisory Board, FitnessGram uses criterion-based standards, carefully established for each age and gender.
FitnessGram assesses the five components of health-related fitness: Aerobic Capacity, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, and Body Composition.
FitnessGram provides an efficient way for physical education teachers to perform fitness and physical activity assessments with reporting capabilities allowing campus, district, and state administrators to view de-identified, aggregate data for entire campuses and districts. It also provides surveillance data allowing for identification of trends and informs curricular and programmatic decisions related to quality and quantity of physical education, staff development, recess, and more.
More than Assessment
- Data management and analysis tools that allow administrators to gain support for quality physical education programs and drive decisions for program planning, grant funding, and more.
- SmartCoach, FitnessGram’s new content library, provides personalized feedback and resources to users based on assessment results.
- Student tracking for teachers to monitor progress and develop programs that meet individual needs.
