Remember the Presidential fitness test?
It is being talked about everywhere lately.? As responsible adults we need to learn more and teach our kids leading by example. Get in control of your health and wellness, give your kids the gift of making good choices and give them healthy parents for many more years to come.
What is the Presidential Fitness Test?? The original test was developed in 1966.? It tested the physical abilities of children and provided a way for educators to track and motivate kids.? The test we all know has been phased out in favor of a more comprehensive fitness initiative that stresses health-related fitness and personal progress over athletic prowess.
The original test provided a ?friendly? competition and bragging rights among peers. By the end of testing we knew who could do the most chin ups or sit ups. It provided limited information on actual health and limited professional development to ensure teaches were using meaningful way to provide feedback to students.
What is the current Assessment?? It is a more comprehensive tool.? The information collected helps to reach new health goals specific to the individual and promotes healthy lifestyles.
The assessment measures these components:
- Aerobic capacity
- Body composition (measures body fat)
- Muscular strength
- Muscular endurance
- Flexibility
Knowing the above can lower the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and back pain.? We all want to look good, feel good and fight the aging process.? Know your numbers.
