FITNESSGRAM Assessments in Georgia


Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, each 1st-12th grade student enrolled in a physical education class taught by a certified Physical Education teacher will participate in a FITNESSGRAM fitness assessment one time per year.  The components of the test include pacer or mile run, curl-ups, 90 degree push-ups, back-saver sit and reach and height and weight.  Fitness and body composition reports will be reported to both parents and the state.
