  2. Objective of PFT Training • Test Site Coordinators (TSC) and Test Examiners: • will be knowledgeable of state and district policies regarding the PFT in order to ensure proper administration and scoring of the assessments

  3. Test Site Coordinator Responsibilities • Attend training • Train test examiners • Receive Fitnessgram Kits (includes manual) • Ensure that every grade 5, 7, and 9 student is tested • Coordinate the testing of students not enrolled in a PE class • Ensure all test results are entered in the FG9

  4. Test Examiner Responsibilities • Attend training • Test every grade 5, 7, and 9 student • Enter test results into the FG9

  5. What’s New • New Aerobic Capacity Standards: • Use of VO2max values • Updated Healthy Fitness Zones • NI – Needs Improvement • Very Lean • Fitnessgram 9: • Web-based and accessible from any computer with internet access • http://fg9.wccusd.net/fitnessgram9district/login.aspx

  6. The Fitnessgram® • Is designated as the Physical Fitness Test • Students are assessed in six fitness areas: • Aerobic Capacity • Body Composition • Abdominal Strength • Trunk Extension Strength • Upper Body Strength • Overall Flexibility • Scored using criterion-referenced standards

  7. Testing Window • Testing Window: • Monday, March 14 to Friday, March 25 • Make-ups: • Monday, March 28 to Friday, April 1 • Scores in FG9 by: • Friday, April 1 • Conditioning Window: • Monday, January 24 to Friday, March 11

  8. Who to Test? • All grade 5, 7, and 9 students, including: • Students not enrolled in P.E. class • Students on a block schedule • No opt-out provision • Students with medical issues are to be given as much of the test as conditions permit • IEP determines how Students with Disabilities (SWDs) will participate

  9. Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZ) • Revised standards reflect levels of fitness and body composition that provide protection against health risks associated with obesity or inadequate fitness • Use of Common Health Indicator: • Metabolic Syndrome is a group of risk factors that collectively promote the development of cardiovascular disease and increases the risk of diabetes: • high fasting glucose • high waist circumference • high triglycerides • low high density lipoprotein cholesterol and • high blood pressure

  10. Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZ) • Performance goal for all test areas is the HFZ • Age and gender specific • Aerobic Capacity factors in Body Composition • Needs Improvement (NI) Standards • Some Risk – potential for future health risks is possible • High Risk – potential for future health risks is probable • Very Lean Standard • May not be best for health. Factors responsible should be considered – naturally lean or inappropriate nutrition? • Upper limits of the HFZ range were removed

  11. Partially Tested Students • Untested fitness area(s) are counted as not being in the HFZ • The California Department of Education (CDE) reports PFT data as “% In HFZ” and “% Not In HFZ”

  12. 2007-10 PFT Results Percent of Students Meeting at Least 5 of 6 Fitness Standards

  13. Six Fitness Areas

  14. Additional Assessment Info • Do not use skin calipers to determine body composition • Liability issue • Inaccurate unless properly trained • Elementary schools should use the PACER • More positive experience for the students • Accurately measured course issue is avoided

  15. New Aerobic Capacity Standards • Use of VO2max values • VO2max - maximum capacity of an individual’s body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise • Calculated using PACER laps or mile-run time and BMI • No change in administration, but students can no longer pre-determine PACER laps or mile run needed • Lookup Tables for estimates: • http://www.cooperinstitute.org/ourkidshealth/fitnessgram/hfz-tables.cfm

  16. Equipment Needed to Administer the PFT

  18. Important Assessment Information • Aerobic Capacity: • Mile Run must be below 13:00 for VO2max to be calculated • Trunk Lift: • Limit to 12” to discourage hyperextension • Sit and Reach: • Limit to 12” to discourage hypermobility

  19. FG9 Software • District: • Update before testing window opens: • Students & demographics • Teachers • Classes • Teacher/School: • Enter PFT scores • Enter “Exemption Code” – reason for student with missing data
