What Sets FitnessGram Apart? 

Here are the key differentiators 

Healthy Fitness Zone in Motion.png
  • Scientifically Defined Standards:

    • ​The Kenneth H. Cooper Institute, along with it's Science Advisory Board, developed, and continue to contribute their expertise into research-based, criterion-referenced standards rather than percentile norms. Meaning students are evaluated against health standards rather than peer competition.

  • Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZ):

    • ​FitnessGram does not emphasize sports or skill-related fitness, but rather health-related fitness. Assessment results establish a students’ baseline of a healthy fitness zone from which students can set goals and receive targeted health messaging.

  • Holistic 5-Component Evaluation:

    • ​Aerobic Capacity, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, and Body Composition - work together to build a well-rounded, healthy body that can prevent the development of chronic disease, handle daily tasks easily, and support an active lifestyle.
