Welcome to 6th/7th grade PE.

Since 1966, American youngsters have taken part in the Presidential Physical Fitness Award program or the President's Challenge.Those youngsters reaching the 85th percentile or above on all five items of the test became eligible to receive the Presidential Physical Fitness Award for outstanding achievement.

To help motivate many more young people to exercise regularly and improve their fitness the National Physical Fitness Award was added in 1987 and recognizes those youngsters who score at or above the 50th percentile on the same five test items.

Challenge Item	Primary Fitness Component Measured

V-Sit Reach (or sit and reach)	lower back/hamstring flexibility
Shuttle Run	leg strength/endurance/power/agility
Pull-ups (or right angle push-ups)	upper body strength/endurance

When you qualify for the Presidential Physical Fitness Award you are eligible to receive a Presidential certificate of achievement and a BLUE emblem. When you qualify for the National Physical Fitness Award you are eligible to receive a National certificate of achievement and a RED emblem.
