What is the FitnessGram?

FITNESSGRAM was developed by The Cooper Institute in an effort to provide physical educators with a tool that would facilitate communicating fitness testing results to students and to parents. The assessment measures three components of health-related physical fitness that have been identified as important to overall health and function:

• aerobic capacity;
• body composition; and
• muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility.

This test will be administered during p.e. in January.
