The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition has a long-standing program called the President’s Challenge.  This program is designed to help people of all ages and abilities to improve their fitness, physical activity and nutrition habits through a number of programs.  One of those programs is the the President’s Challenge Youth Physical Fitness Test.

President’s Challenge Youth Physical Fitness Test

The Physical Fitness Test measures the physical fitness of kids and teens.  This is done by recognizing students for their level of physical fitness in five activities:

• Curl-ups (or partial curl-ups)
• Shuttle run
• Endurance run/walk
• Pull-ups (or right angle push-ups or flexed-arm hang)
• V-sit reach (or sit and reach)

The completion of all five activities is an accomplishment.  To celebrate this fitness feat, they offer three awards for students based on their scores. You can go to The President’s Challenge website to find out more about this fitness challenge.

The awards are:

• Presidential Physical Fitness Award—To earn this award, students must score at or above the 85th percentile on all five activities.
