It created the Stakeholder and Expert Task  Force on Physical Education (SETFPE), which was composed of members from organizations representing physical education teachers, school officials, principals, health promotion and disease prevention advocates and experts, school health advocates and experts, and other experts with operational and academic expertise in the measurement of fitness. The SETFPE was tasked with submitting recommendations to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) on physical fitness assessments, as well as the collection and reporting of aggregate student fitness data. The SETFPE submitted its recommendations to ISBE in April 2015. After seeking public comment, ISBE adopted the rules ( Part 1, Section 1.425 ), which went into effect Jan. 27, 2016, and were amended July 13, 2022.  \nQuestions and Answers  \n1. What are the physical fitness assessment and data collection requirements in Illinois?  \nPublic school districts are required to:  \n• Ensure that school personnel administering the assessments participate in training related to the proper administration and scoring of the assessment by reviewing the chapters of the  FitnessGram Test Administration Manual:  \no Chapter 4 FITNESSGRAM Test Administration  \no Chapter 5 Aerobic Capacity  \no Chapter 7 Muscular Strength, Endurance, and Flexibility  \nIf administering fitness testing with students with disabilities, review the  Brockport Physical Fitness Test Manual.  \nIt is recommended that staff watch the training videos linked under the four required FitnessGram assessments bulleted below.  \n• Ensure district maintains evidence of individual school personnel’s successful completion of the training and make it available to the ISBE upon request. Having staff sign and date a log that shows what manuals and videos were read and watched is sufficient. Staff need to be trained only once, although an annual refresher is recommended.  \n• Establish procedures and protocols to ensure the confidentiality of individual student assessment results consistent with the requirements of the Illinois School Records Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act .  \n• Administer the following four required assessments using either FitnessGram or Brockport Physical Fitness Assessment:  \no Aerobic Capacity–  \n􀂃  PACER test (recommended) or  Mile Run Test (alternate)  \n•  PACER Cadence– 15-Meter  \n•  PACER Cadence– 20-Meter  \n• View more PACER test videos here.  \n􀂃 Brockport test (any of the adapted tests for aerobic functioning for students with disabilities) for students in Grades 4-12  \n􀂃 Note: If your district chooses the alternate Mile Run Test, student height and weight will need to be collected and entered into the free FitnessGram calculator at the Presidential Youth Physical Fitness Program in order to calculate healthy fitness zones.  \no  Flexibility–  \n􀂃  Back-Saver Sit and Reach test (recommended) or Trunk Lift test (alternate)  \n􀂃 Brockport test (any of the adapted tests for flexibility or range of motion for students with disabilities) for students in Grades 3-12  \no  Muscular Endurance –  \n􀂃  Curl-Up test  \n•  Curl-Up Test Candence  \n􀂃 Brockport test (any of the adapted tests for strength and endurance for students with disabilities) for students in Grades 3-12  \no  Muscular Strength–  \n􀂃  Push-Up test  \n•  Push-Up Test Candence  \n􀂃 Brockport test (any of the adapted tests for strength and endurance for students with disabilities) for students in Grades 3-12  \nLinks to training videos for Brockport tests can be obtained by purchasing the Brockport manual atthe Human Kinetics website.  \n• Collect and report the aggregate data as outlined under questions No. 6 (page 2) and No. 8 (page 3) by your district’s established date and no later than June 30.  \n2.
