The physical fitness test (PFT) for students in California
schools is the FITNESSGRAM®. The main goal of the
test is to help students in starting life-long habits of regular
physical activity.
All students in grades third – ninth and tenth -
twelfth (in PE courses) take the fitness test. The test has
five parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree
of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test
results can be used by students, teachers, and parents
