COOPER
Improving youth fitness through assessment, science and research.
Since it’s inception in 1981, FitnessGram by The Cooper Institute has continued to evolve to best measure student fitness levels across the country. The latest evolution can be seen in the new student reports. FitnessGram is an assessment that measures student fitness levels. Over 10 million students across the country take this test annually and receive a detailed report evaluating their overall aerobic and physical health.
Together, these changes allow students to better understand their FitnessGram results. With the help of parents and teachers, students can set new fitness goals to improve their overall physical health.
Designed to be more user-friendly and interactive, the new student reports take on more of an infographic feel with graphs that mimic the look of a sliding scale.
Improving physical fitness in children has been at the heart of our mission since the beginning.
The new design makes it easier for students, teachers and parents to see if their child is in the healthy zone for each of the five tested categories: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility. Parents reviewing the report can learn how fit their child is and see year-over-year progress in a new student friendly design.
Even the founding charter of The Cooper Institute clearly states our intent to “improve the effectiveness of physical education programs… [and] to educate, motivate and prepare school children” for a lifetime of healthy habits. FitnessGram continued on page 3...
