Texas Education Code (TEC) §38.101 states that a school district must annually assess the physical fitness of students enrolled in grade three or higher. The fitnessgram assessment consists of health-related physical fitness tests that assess aerobic capacity, muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition. During the month of November all 3rd – 5th grade students are assessed and each student’s score is compared to Healthy Fitness Zone® (HFZ) standards that are both age- and gender-specific.
