  3. Aerobic Capacity Excessively high passing rates for young girls Classification disagreement between PACER and One Mile Run Body Composition Standards for very young children did not discriminate adequately Much more data for children is now available upon which to base standards Need for New Standards

  4. Nationally representative data on children from National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) Analyses were conducted to find levels of body fatness and aerobic capacity that are associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome Age and Gender specific taking into account normal changes during growth and maturation Basis for New Standards

  5. Considered to have metabolic syndrome if you have three of the five conditions. High blood pressure High fasting glucose High waist circumference High triglycerides Low HDL cholesterol What is Metabolic Syndrome?

  6. Young boys and girls do not differ substantially but follow different patterns as age increases New standards will classify children into three zones: Healthy Fitness Zone Needs Improvement – Some Risk Needs Improvement – High Risk Three zones allow messaging to be much more specific Characteristics of New Standards

  7. These are not the CDC percentile standards, they are criterion standards There will still be a Very Lean zone Body Composition standards were established based on levels of body fatness associated with increased risk of health problems Levels of Body Mass Index were equated with these levels of body fatness Unique to New Body Composition Standards

  8. Body Composition for Females NI-High Risk NI-Some Risk HFZ Very Lean

  9. Body Composition for Females

  10. NI-High Risk NI-Some Risk HFZ Very Lean Body Composition for Males

  11. NI-High Risk NI-Some Risk HFZ Very Lean Body Composition for Males

  12. All output will be expressed as Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) rather than as PACER laps or One Mile Run time. Calculation of Aerobic Capacity requires the input of height and weight – Body Mass Index is a very critical factor in one’s ability to perform aerobically. Without BMI many students may be classified incorrectly. Unique to New Aerobic Capacity Standards

  13. Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) for Females HFZ NI-Some Risk NI-High Risk

  14. Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) for Males HFZ NI-Some Risk NI-High Risk

  15. Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) Males vs. Females

  16. Test administration does not change The test items are still the same The data that is entered in the computer is the same The one thing that will be different is that motivation for children on the aerobic test cannot be based on how much they have to do. Children will have to “do their best” Changes will show up when you print reports – group and individual How Will the New Standards Change Test Administration
