0092 Example Fitness Question 1

Given below are scores for two students on the FitnessGram health-related fitness test.

(I encourage you to write your own practice questions by varying the age/sex, test item, and the individual's score parameters.)

Use the fitness scores and standards that appear in the table to complete the tasks below.

1. Identify the health-related fitness component measured by each test administered to the students.

2. Assess each student's strengths and weaknesses and describe what you would say to each student about his or her performance.

3. Design an appropriate six-week fitness/exercise program for one of the two students.

   1. The exercise program should be for use in the student's physical education class and/or for the student's use on his/her own time.

   2. The exercises should enable the student to improve each fitness component in which he or she scored below the healthy fitness standard and to maintain or improve each fitness component in which the student's score was in the acceptable range.

   3. Prescribe a fitness program using standards related to frequency, intensity, duration and mode of physical activity appropriate to the student's needs. Indicate the exercises the student should perform while following the program.

4. Identify principles of training you used to design the program and indicate how they were appropriately applied.
