Turning Student Fitness Data
into Powerful Policy Change
FitnessGram is more than just fitness testing and software. It's a comprehensive, health-related fitness assessment designed to help educators measure and promote lifelong physical activity within schools and communities. Developed by The Kenneth H. Cooper Institute, it provides schools and districts with data-driven insights to improve policies that promote student fitness and well-being.
Comprehensive Health Monitoring:
FitnessGram is not about athletic ability—it’s about helping students develop healthy habits. It evaluates five key components of fitness:
• Aerobic Capacity (e.g., PACER Test, One-Mile Run)
• Body Composition (e.g., BMI)
• Muscular Endurance (e.g., Curl-Up Test)
• Flexibility (e.g., Sit-and-Reach Test)
• Muscular Strength (e.g., Push-Up Test)
- Now with NEW testing items:
• Power (The Vertical Jump!)
• The Plank
• The HandGrip
Curriculum Development and Accountability:
Shape a curriculum that not only meets but exceeds expectations. FitnessGram data helps you develop targeted programs, ensuring every student can reach their fitness potential while promoting accountability in physical education.
The Link Between Fitness and Academic Excellence:
Embrace the proven correlation between physical well-being and academic success. Schools committed to regular fitness assessments witness not just healthier students, but also heightened concentration, cognitive function, and overall academic achievement.
