Presidential Fitness & Fit-Gram Testing
Each Fall and Spring along with the NFL Combine, students will participate in the Presidential and Fitness Gram physical fitness testing. These are the two nationally recognized fitness tests and students at ELA will do both! A unique article highlighting the difference in the tests can be found by clicking here
Students required to hit a specific target in each test in order to be "physically fit" the standards can be found in the following links
- Presidential Standards
- Fitness Gram Standards
The tests combine a series of tests that challenge the students entire body and does a great job determining the fitness of the student. Each testing system is slightly different and I feel each is necessary for a complete body understanding. Below is a link to articles explaining each test within the testing systems. Please keep in mind that we do not do the skin fold test represented within the Fitness Gram system.
