E. ) teachers, school and community maximize the benefits of physical fitness.  \n1) What are the SY16-17 statewide physical fitness assessment results?  \nWith results from 69%(2,475) of the 3,572 Illinois schools required to report:  \n􀁸 63% of 5th, 7th, and 10th graders across the state met the Healthy Fitness Zone for aerobic capacity, using either the PACER or Mile Run tests  \n􀁸 65% of 5th, 7th, and 10th graders across the state met the Healthy Fitness Zone for muscular strength, using the Push-up test  \n􀁸 79% of the 5th, 7th, and 10th graders across the state met the Healthy Fitness Zone for muscular endurance, using the Curl-up test  \n􀁸 72% of the 5th, 7th, and 10th graders across the state met the Healthy Fitness Zone for flexibility, using either the Back-saver Sit and Reach or Trunk Lift test  \nThe Illinois physical fitness assessment data is available by school, district, and county under Quick Links at [https://www.isbe.net/EnhancedPhysicalEducation](https://www.isbe.net/EnhancedPhysicalEducation).  \n2) What are the improved student outcomes associated with increased physical fitness?  \nBetter learners: Physically fit children show greater attention, have faster cognitive processing speed, and perform better on standardized academic tests than children who are less active. Preliminary results from a 2010 study suggest that students in the Fitnessgram“Healthy Fitness Zone” for cardiorespiratory fitness were two to four times more likely to meet or exceed the Illinois Standardized Achievement Test (ISAT) reading and math test requirements than students who were not.  \nBetter behavior: An analysis of Texas fitness testing results found that higher physical fitness achievement was associated with better school attendance rates and fewer disciplinary incidents.  \nBetter health: Being physically fit and active can reduce the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Physical fitness also improves physiological function. For example, upper body strength (muscular strength test) is important to maintaining functionality as we age. Strong abdominal muscles promote good posture and lower back health (endurance test), joint flexibility (flexibility test) can help reduce injuries, and research indicates that acceptable levels of aerobic capacity (aerobic capacity test) are specifically associated with a lower risk of chronic disease and other health problems in adults.  \n3) How will physical fitness assessments help schools optimize student performance and health outcomes?  \nPhysical fitness assessments serve two purposes: 1) to teach students how to assess their fitness levels, set goals for improvement and monitor progress in reaching their goals, and 2) measure student growth and program effectiveness as it pertains to State Goal 20, which is for students to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness through continual self-assessment.  \nP. E. teachers can use physical fitness assessment data to a) ensure students meet State Goal  \n20, b) reinforce goals around teaching students the impact of fitness/physical activity on brain function and health, c) inform and adapt instruction (e.g. if students are not improving on a particular assessment, adjust approach to better meet their needs), and d) focus on developing physically literate students that have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop life-long skills for enhancing fitness and health.  \n4) What if my school’s results were poor?  \nIt’s important to remember that many things influence fitness levels, including the community environment, family life, heredity, body composition, and more.
