For the middle School level

By: Jonathan Pressman

NEW FITNESS TESTING AND SKILL

IMPROVEMENT TOOLS

The ability to show improvements in student health is important for all parties involved. The students, their families, the school districts, etc.

With tangible data, students can SEE what they are accomplishing by participating in Physical Education class.

Parental support for the PE program will be increased if their child brings home a fi tness related report card during the school year.

There is never a downside to having access to more and better information.

WHY ACCURATE FITNESS TESTING IS NEEDED IN THE PE

ENVIRONMENT

…is always a good thing to have on your

side…

DATA!

Our school would benefit GREATLY from:

Heart rate monitorsPedometers

Fitness tracking softwareProjector and DVD player setup

Stop watches

They are low cost and provide easily understandable data.

Basic physiology will be integrated into PE lessons
