What Does This Community Health Indicator Mean?
The California State Board of Education designated the FITNESSGRAM® as the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) for students in California public schools. The primary goal of the FITNESSGRAM® is to assist students in establishing lifetime habits of regular physical activity. The Physical Fitness Test assesses six fitness areas including: aerobic capacity, abdominal strength, upper body strength, body composition, trunk extensor strength, and flexibility.
