Fitness & Nutrition • Wellness Program Design Outcome #1: • Increase the number of students in the HEALTHY FITNESS ZONE* and reverse the downward trends for aerobic capacity & body composition • WHY? • Physically fit students are more than 2x more likely to meet or exceed academic standards than students who aren’t operating in the HFZ • *The FITNESSGRAM® on the Physical Fitness Test uses Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZs) to evaluate fitness performance. These zones are criterion- referenced standards established by The Cooper Institute of Dallas, Texas, and represent minimum levels of fitness that offer protection against the diseases that result from sedentary living.
