Fitness Gram Fitness Gram ConclusionsConclusions

O The younger students tend to score higher in all 6 components. It is difficult to assess if this is a true picture of physical fitness or if it is related to student effort in testing.

O This year was the first year we only tested students in PE credit courses as opposed to all students. In middle school and high school, you would have expected the number of students meeting the HFZ to increase, but this was not the case. We did not see a significant increase in any of the 6 components.

O We need to find a more efficient means of testing LHS students and we need to motivate students to perform at a higher level. Test administrators need to set a higher bar for students in athletics and PE credit courses.

O With the changes in the BMI scores, suggest the district develop programs that target reducing BMI levels at all age levels. Obesity rates appear to be as high as 50% for students Obesity rates appear to be as high as 50% for students ages 8-14 and 65% for students ages 15-19. ages 8-14 and 65% for students ages 15-19.
