Whichawards scheme would you use andwhy?-The four awards available under the President'schallenge testing program are pins and magnets, presidential emblems, participantcertificated, and health fitness award emblems. I would award students based on participationwhich would increase the amount of participation in the test. I would do this so that studentsfeel they should try on the test to hopefully achieve something valuable to them like an extra20 minutes of play time.5. Which physical fitness test would you use? Why? -I would use the FITNESSGRAM pacer testbecause it's the same physical fitness test that I did when I was younger.

Were you given physical fitness tests during your youth? What tests did you take? What items didyou complete? Did the test results provide a reliable and valid estimate of your physical fitness? - Yeswhen I was younger we always did the FITNESSGRAM test. We would do the running portionof it and we also got tested for the amount of pushups and sit-ups we could do.

How would you describethestatus of physical fitness of American youth?- I would describe thestatus of physical fitness of the American youth today as extremely poor. Physical educationis not as important to schools or students as it used to be.

We wonder why there is anincrease in Type II diabetes but at the same time we disregard the importance of physicalfitness and how it can affect us long term.
