Georgia School Fitness Assessment 2019

The Georgia FitnessGram Manual is designed to help support teachers in quality implementation of Georgia Code 20-2-777 which calls for annual health related fitness assessment, reporting and compliance. Annually the assessment must be given during a physical education course that is taught by a certificated physical education teacher in which a student is enrolled. FitnessGram uses criterion-referenced standards to evaluate fitness performance. These standards have been established to represent a level of fitness that offers some degree of protection against diseases that result from sedentary living. Performance is classified in two general areas: “Healthy Fitness Zone” (HFZ) and “Needs Improvement.” This layer shows the percent share of the classes by gender. Please find the details at Health and Physical Education at Georgia Department of Education.
