Illinois has selected FITNESSGRAM , a health-related fitness test that is intended to help students acquire lasting habits of regular physical activity.\nThe four required areas of fitness assessment are as follows:\nFor Aerobic Capacity, grades 4-12 will take the PACER test (recommended) or Mile Run Test (alternate) or Brockport test (adapted);\nFor Flexibility, grades 3-12 will take the Back-Saver Sit and Reach test (recommended) or Trunk Lift test (alternate) or Brockport test (adapted);\nFor Muscular Endurance, grades 3-12 will take the Curl-Up test or Brockport test (adapted); and\nFor Muscular Strength, grades 3-12 will take the Push-Up test or Brockport test (adapted).\nFor each fitness area of the FITNESSGRAM, a student’s performance is classified into the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) or Needs Improvement (NI).  The desired performance goal for each test option is the HFZ, which represents a level of fitness that offers some protection against the diseases related to physical inactivity. The NI designation indicates an area of fitness where a student would benefit from activities designed to improve performance in that area.\nOur students will receive their results upon completion which will help them understand their individual levels of fitness. Students are encouraged to talk about these results with their parents or guardians and their physical education teacher to plan appropriate fitness activities.\nIf you have any questions about these assessments, videos are available on-line through YouTube or you may contact [insert SCHOOL contact name, phone and/or email].","cbCairlsQhobRPXa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairlsQhobRPXa","docx",33852,"English","# Illinois’ Physical Fitness Assessment\n## Required Assessment Coverage (Grades 3–12)\n## Four Fitness Areas and Test Options\n## FITNESSGRAM Result Classifications (HFZ vs NI)\n## How Families Use Results","[{\"question\":\"What physical fitness assessment is required for Illinois public schools?\",\"answer\":\"Illinois public schools must administer FITNESSGRAM, a health-related fitness test for students in grades 3–12.\"},{\"question\":\"Which four fitness areas are assessed, and what tests are used?\",\"answer\":\"Aerobic capacity, flexibility, muscular endurance, and muscular strength are assessed using the listed test options such as PACER or Mile Run (aerobic), Back-Saver Sit and Reach (flexibility), Curl-Up (muscular endurance), and Push-Up (muscular strength).\"},{\"question\":\"How are students’ performances classified, and what do the results mean?\",\"answer\":\"Results for each fitness area are classified as Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) or Needs Improvement (NI).
