2nd - 5th grade students are being tested for the new Alabama Physical Fitness Assessment this week. The assessment involves a one-mile run, push-ups, curl-ups, and V sit.

One-Mile Run - This test  determines the level of cardiovascular fitness (how strong your heart and lungs are).

Push-Ups: This test determines muscular strength and endurance for the muscles in your shoulders, arms, back, and abdomen.

Curl-Ups: This test determines muscular strength and endurance in your back and abdomen.

V Sit: This test determines flexibility.

They are being tested now, and will be tested again in March to determine if their level of fitness has improved.
