ADVOCATING PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST FOR PROMOTING STUDENTS

PHYSICAL WELLNESS

Introduction

Physical activity is an integral part of every individuals lives it is an activity involving a

person bodily movements to create an action or mobility for a particular or a specific physical

activity, such as in many different sports and also in everyday activity of a person. Promoting

physical activities to students is not a new concept in education, it is a part of a curriculum of a

student called Physical education an curriculum that teaches students about different physical

activities, its significance and benefits. But we the students of School come up and created a

concept not just to promote but to test out our students physical capabilities by proposing a

physical fitness test. A physical fitness test is used to measure out the capability of a student for

evaluating the physical capacity such as strength endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility

and balance required in performing in many physical task and exercises namely 50 yard dash,

push-ups, dead hang, sit-ups and squats. These activities are performed by students for them to

push their limits to better understand their capabilities. But it has many different fitness

assessment or classification levels that are based on students gender, age and experience specific.

For example a male students has more intensive test than female students. With this identifying

the foundational capabilities of our students is an sustainable way to enhance everyone’s

physical perks.
Statement of Purpose

The purpose of physical fitness test is to introduce the concept of a physical fitness test to

our school towards deeper understanding of personal fitness levels of the students.

capabilities of the students, promoting physical activeness with its benefits that can contribute

general development.

i. By encouraging and motivating the students to pursue a healthy lifestyle and to

set fitness goals that can be achieved through developmentally appropriate

physical activities.

limitations gaining an understanding of their own capabilities for them to pursue

their growth.

This concepts paper seeks to answer and explain the different questions related for

this kind of concept such as:

1. What physical attributes of the students are targeted or being initiated

when doing a physical fitness test?

2. Is this concept relevant enough to be applied to the students?

3. What is the benefits of physical fitness test to the students?

Stakeholders and Beneficiaries

The stakeholders of this concept are the school educators, as this concept can

serve a beneficial purpose to them to better understand their student capabilities. And the

targeted beneficiaries of this concept are the Students/Learners because this concept is directed

to them for better knowing themselves through physical assessment enhancing and furthering

their growth.
Short Description

Physical fitness test measures and examines the students physical fitness level. It is an

effective strategy to assess the students current fitness level and will help provide more

understanding on how healthy the students are. Therefore motivating and encouraging active

lifestyle to the students, fostering their development with a healthy lifestyle.

Methodology

This concept rely both the cooperation of teachers and students to be applied effectively.

Implementing Physical fitness test can be a bit comprehensive and systematic but this part will

briefly explain the process of this concept. First of all the students need to be sort out based of

their gender, age , grade level and health conditions for a more balanced and safety assessment

for the students, each classification has its own objective to do for example male students needs

to do more repetition of physical activity like push-ups than females, and females will do more

easier variation of physical activity than males. After sorting out the students the teachers may

start implementing the test. The teachers can become the examiner/assessors to measure or assess

their students through the different variation of physical activities. Some examples physical

activities that can be a part of the test can be found at the introduction part of our concept. After
the teachers implemented the test they may evaluate or grade their students based of their

performance further understanding their students abilities. In my opinion this test can be a part of

physical education curriculum, PE teachers may use this concept as an activity to the students for

their subjects because this concept can be suitable part of studying physical education.
