0092 Example Fitness Question 3
Given below are scores for four individuals on health-related fitness test items.
(Please note that on the real Praxis Exams you will only be responsible for
children in grades K-12. You will not be asked about adult fitness or learning. I used this
question as part of the final in a Fitness for Majors class in the fall of 1998. It is included
here simply as a good practice question and as an example for PETE professionals. You can
substitute ages, test items, etc. to meet your particular needs. I encourage you to write your
own practice questions by varying the age/sex, test item, and individual's score parameters.)

-
For each test item listed, identify the health-related fitness
component it measures.
-
For each of the four individuals, develop a six-week plan to
improve or maintain his or her fitness level. The plan must include appropriate activity for
each person's age and developmental level.
-
Identify one principle or concept from motor development, motor
learning, exercise physiology, or biomechanics and explain how it relates to one or all areas
of your six-week plan.
