The President's Challenge ADULT FITNESS TEST
 


Why take a fitness test?

If your response is, "Fit for what?" you are asking the right question. Physical fitness means different things to different people.

There are two types of fitness:
Performance-related fitness is linked to athletic performance (for example: a 50-yard dash time or the ability to maneuver around obstacles quickly) and is linked to speed, reaction time, and coordination.

Health-related fitness is linked to fitness components that may lower risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or low back pain. Health-related physical fitness includes the following components:
-Aerobic fitness - ability of the heart and lungs to deliver blood to muscles, 
- Muscular strength and endurance - enough to do normal activities easily and protect the low back, 
- Flexibility - ability to move your many joints through their proper range of motion, and 
- Body composition - not too much body fat, especially around the waist.

The activities featured on this adult fitness test are provided as a way for you to get an estimate of your level of aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and your body composition. The results on each test provide you with a measure from which you can track your progress in each area as you become more physically active.
