AGE GROUP: 9-18+ YEARS | CLASS 4 to 12 For Class 4 to 12, It is important for students to have an overall physical fitness.
The following Components are to be considered in Physical Health and Fitness Profile:
1. Body Composition (BMI)
2. Strength a. Abdominal (Partial Curl-up) b. Muscular Endurance (Push Ups for Boys, Modified Push Ups for Girls)
3. Flexibility (Sit and Reach Test)
4. Cardiovascular Endurance (600 Meter Run/Walk)
5. Speed (50 mt. Dash)
50 MTR DASH (STANDING START)
Procedure: A thorough warm up should be given, including some practice starts and accelerations. Start from a stationary position, with one foot in front of the other. The front foot must be on or behind the starting line. This starting position should be static (dead start). The tester should provide hints for maximizing speed (suchas keeping low, driving hard with the arms and legs) and encouraged to continue running hard through the finish line.
Scoring: Time taken for completion
ABDOMINAL (PARTIAL CURL-UP)
Procedure: The subject lies on a cushioned, flat, clean surface with knees flexed, usually at 90 degrees, with hands straight on the sides (palms facing downwards) closer to the ground, parallel to the body. The subject raises the trunk in a smooth motion, keeping the arms in position, curling up the desired amount (at least 6 inches above/along the ground towards the parallel strip). The trunk is lowered back to the floor so that the shoulder blades or upper back touch the floor.
Scoring: Record the maximum number of Curl ups in a certain time period (30 seconds).
