7th Grade Students who are Physically Fit

Measurement Period: 2018-2019
This indicator shows the percentage of 7th grade students that achieve the Healthy Fitness Zone for the aerobic capacity portion of the annual California Physical Fitness test.

Why is this important?

Physical fitness has been linked to higher academic performance, better concentration, and increased confidence and self-esteem. Students who are more physically fit are less likely to suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition, physical fitness helps to develop lifelong habits that can reduce the likelihood of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart failure.

Aerobic capacity is perhaps the most important indicator of physical fitness and assesses the capacity of the cardiorespiratory system by measuring endurance.
