Fitness results provide personal information. Children do not have to share their results with other children.
Fitness is Personal
FITNESSGRAM Approach
The FITNESSGRAM report prints out an individualized report that evaluates a child’s personal level of fitness compared against the established health standard, the Healthy Fitness Zone. Children can take these home to parents.
Parents have the right to request this report (SB530)
Goal of Youth Fitness and Activity Promotion
To increase the probability that youth will adopt regular physical activity habits and maintain
adequate levels of physical fitness to contribute to optimal health and function throughout life.

► Helping students track fitness results over time ► Documenting that assessments are being administered in
the school and that student results are being tracked over time
