Title: President's Challenge Events

*For use when qualifying students for the Presidential, National and Participant Awards The PCPFS recommends fitness testing at least twice each year, in the fall and spring. Before conducting The President's Challenge, or any youth fitness test, each child's medical status should be reviewed to identify medical, orthopedic or other health problems that should be considered prior to participation in physical activities, including testing. The success of the program depends on the enthusiasm and knowledge of physical educators and other youth leaders. Before performing the following tests, all students should be taught 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 test item. Physical fitness testing is most effective when it is part of a comprehensive physical education program that supports testing with educational and motivational information. Please use the age of the student at the start of testing when determining award levels.
