Overview

Fitness defines the ability to perform physical activity, and encompasses a wide range of abilities. Each
activity and sports requires a specific set of skills, and so being fit for an activity or a sport does not
necessarily make you fit for another.

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 GROUP5-8 YEARS |CLASS 1to3


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

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

1. Body Composition (BMI)


2. Coordination (Plate Tapping)

3. Balance (Flamingo Balance)


Which are important for controlling the body in various situations.

AGE GROUP: 9-18+ YEARS| CLASS4 to 12


For Class 4 to 12, it is important for students to have an overall physical fitness. The following
Components are to be considered in Physical Health and Fitness Profile:

b. Muscular Endurance (Push Ups for Boys, Modified Push Ups for Girls)
3. Flexibility (Sit and Reach Test)
4. Cardiovascular Endurance (600 Meter Run/Walk)

5. Speed (50 mt. Dash)

Sit and Reach
What does it measure:
Common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and
hamstring muscles. This test is important as because tightness in this area is implicated in lumbar
lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower back pain
How to Perform: Infrastructure/Equipment Required:
This test involves sitting on the floor with legs Sit and Reach box with the following dimensions:

seconds while the distance is recorded. Make
sure there are no jerky movements.

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.
The test trial is repeated if:
(i) The hands reach out unevenly or (ii) The knees are flexed at the time of doing the test.
