The PCPFS recommends fitness testing at least twice each year, in the fall and
spring. It works best as part of a complete physical education program that
supports testing with educational and motivational information.
Before conducting The President's Challenge, or any youth fitness test, you
should review each student's medical status to identify medical, orthopedic or
other health problems that should be considered.
Before you begin, make sure all students know the correct techniques for all
tests, including proper pacing and running style. There is no limit to the
number of tries students may have on each event.
When determining award levels, use the age of the student at the start of
testing.
