 "The FitnessGram measures six areas: aerobic capacity, percentage of body fat, abdominal strength and endurance, trunk strength and flexibility, upper body strength, and overall flexibility. Students earn one point for each area if they pass the minimum requirements, so the top score on the FitnessGram is six. It's worth noting that this test doesn't measure how fit a student is, just whether he or she is acceptably fit in each area. In other words, it's pass-fail.
In 2001 fit kids scored twice as well on academic tests as their unfit peers."- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |

The entire course was written so that anyone could train at home and attain the same physical development that he did."- KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.) |
