Pre- and post-fitness assessments will be administered to students. These will mark a beginning point and assist in charting progress in all 5 areas of fitness for each student. The fitness areas and benchmarks are listed below:

• Cardiovascular Fitness - 1.5 mile run
  
• Muscular Strength - Bicep strength (Tri Fit)
  
• Muscular Endurance - Curl ups
  
• Flexibility - Sit and Reach (Tri Fit)
  
• Body Composition - % body fat and LBM (lean body mass). This test is optional (Tri Fit)

The Tri Fit machine and software allows the measurement of all fitness areas listed above. Detailed printouts compare students' fitness levels to the national norms for students of the same age.
