Presidential Physical Fitness Tests
Physical fitness testing is one of the ways we evaluate Circle kids. Fitness tests are not
considered the only way to judge someone's fitness level, but they are a good standardized way
to see how our kids are doing over time and compared to a grade level expectation.
Cardiovascular Endurance Test ---600 yard run for K-3 and the 1 mile run/walk for 4-
th
6
grade.
Abdominal Endurance/Strength Test --- How many curl ups can be performed in one
minute.
Upper-body Endurance/Strength Test – How many Pull-ups a student can complete and
how long a student can hold their body above a bar.
Flexibility Test – How far the student can stretch using a standardized measuring box
to measure flexibility in the lower back and hamstrings.
