In October 2005, the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE) revised Policy 2520.6, 21st Century Physical Education 5-12 Content Standards and Objectives (CSOs) to require annual administration of the FitnessGram in grades four through eight and high school physical education courses. Schools must report the assessment results with their tenth month (end-of-year) report.
This assessment measures three components of health-related physical fitness that have been identified as being important to overall health and function:
- aerobic capacity
- body composition
- muscular strength, endurance and flexibility
For each test category, teachers report the number of students tested and the number of students who performed within the Healthy Fitness Zone as defined by the FitnessGram assessment.
