Fitness Tests for Children
Fitness tests are conducted to determine the current fitness level of people, monitor training and to give feedback and motivate people to do more exercise.
Many tests have been developed specifically for testing elite athletes, which would not be appropriate for using with young children. Tests used for young children have been adapted using lower weights, distances and times, and using simple instructions and modified equipment. See these tests for children.
There are a few testing programs that have been developed for school age children, with specifically designed or adapted tests. It would not be appropriate to fitness test anyone younger than school age. See a list of fitness testing programs for schools.
