Fitness is generally divided into specific fitness categories or components, and each can be tested and
trained individually. The following pages will help you do the Fitness Test Administration in your school
more effectively using Khelo India Fitness Assessment App and viewing the School Dashboard on
School Interface.
BATTERY OF TESTS
AGE GROUP 5-8 YEARS | CLASS 1 to 3
At Primary class 1-3, children should acquire Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) leaving the learning
of specific physical activities to later stages. FMS provide the building blocks for many physical
activities, such as playing games, dance, and sport. Locomotor, Manipulative & Body Management
abilities are key to success in most sports and physical activities. Abilities of children in class 1-3 which
need to be measured and tracked are
2. Strength
b. Muscular Endurance (Push Ups for Boys, Modified Push Ups for Girls)
What does it measure: Body Composition refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in the
body. Body size such as height, lengths and girths are also grouped under this component.
The test performed is Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated from body Weight (W) and
height(H). BMI = W / (H x H), where W = body weight in kilograms and H = height in meters. The
higher the score usually indicating higher levels of body fat.
Make sure the measurer's eyes are at the same level as the
headpiece.
Lightly mark where the bottom of the headpiece meets the wall.
Then, use a metal tape to measure from the base on the floor to the
marked measurement on the wall to get the height measurement.
Have the participant stand with both feet in the center of the scale.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to stand in a balanced posture, feet apart to shoulder width. Results
are usually better if the participant can maintain constant pace during most of the run.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to eyes focused on stationary object straight ahead.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to keep normal breathing rate. Results are usually better if the
participant can maintain constant pace during the activity.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to emphasis to keep the back straight. Results are usually better if the
participant can maintain constant pace during the activity.
Administrative Suggestion:
Proper warm-up and static stretching of the lower back and posterior thighs is very important for this
test. A partner placing his/her hands lightly across knees can prevent the flexing of knees. Keep the
hands over each other (fish pose). Besides in order to prevent the test apparatus from sliding away from
the participants during the test, it should be placed against a wall or a similar immovable object.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to practice running with emphasis placed on the concept of pace.
Results are usually better if the participant can maintain constant pace during most of the run and
perhaps using a strong closing effort.
Administrative Suggestion:
Participants should be encouraged to practice running with emphasis placed on the concept of pace.
Results are usually better if the participant can maintain constant pace during most of the run and perhaps
using a strong closing effort.
1. It is recommended that the assessments are done twice a year (for Term I and Term II
in each academic year). The minimum gap between tests should be 4 months.
2. Find out what is required. Most fitness tests will require a combination of evaluations to
assess speed, endurance/stamina, strength, flexibility, and body composition. Read about
these tests and plan for the same.
3. Determine the current abilities. Pretend you are taking their test today and perform each
exercise. Note how close they came to the goal and how much further they need to go.
4. Calculate the time you have to prepare. You need adequate time to prepare for the test.
5. Participants must pace themselves. Maintaining a constant tempo is crucial for completing
long and repetitive exercises, like Curl-ups, Push-ups and 600 mt run/walk. If you work too
fast at the beginning of the exercise, you may become fatigued quickly. It is more effective to
maintain a steady pace throughout.
6. Participants should be encouraged to practice for few weeks with emphasis placed on the
concept of pace. Results are usually better if the participant can maintain consistency in
performance during this practice period.
Before a Test
Safety Measures
1. If you plan to do for a group of people, decide Date/Time when you want to do the test.
2. Ensure that the play field is flat and clear from stones/pointed objects that may injure children.
3. Ensure that the equipment required for the tests are available at the place where you want to
do the tests.
4. Have a First Aid Box.
No participant with known medical problems, are allowed to take part in the test.
