FITNESSGRAMMarch 17, 2010

FITNESSGRAM is a health related physical fitness assessment. Each of the test items was selected to assess important aspects of a student’s health related fitness, not skill or agility. Students are compared not to each other, but to health fitness standards, carefully established for each age and gender, that indicate good health.
