NFL Play 60 Fitnessgram

There are many ways to implement FITNESSGRAM. This page will provide you with sample FITNESSGRAM resources, testing strategies, and links to help guide you in your planning.

Remember, the purpose of FITNESSGRAM is to provide the student, teacher, and parents with personal information regarding the student’s current level of fitness and physical activity. The information regarding fitness status can then be used as the basis for designing individualized programs. Thus, it is important to consider the appropriate and inappropriate uses of FITNESSGRAM when planning your FITNESSGRAM assessment. For more information refer to your FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM Test Administration Manual. To purchase a manual click here.
