Uploaded by Noah

Standards for Healthy Fitness Zone® (HFZ) Version 10.x provide health and fitness performance thresholds for BOYS and GIRLS, focused on aerobic capacity (VO2max in ml/kg/min) and PACER / One Mile Run & Walk tests. The document lists NI-Health Risk levels and completion expectations, and defines HFZ cut points using age-based ranges. It also includes “Very Lean” ranges based on Percent Body Fat and Body Mass Index, alongside NI-Health Risk exceedance values, with a note that test scoring is Yes/No and requires distance on each side to achieve HFZ.
