About the Test

The Presidential Fitness Test provides students with clear, age-appropriate benchmarks that encourage them to build strength, endurance, and healthy habits while striving for personal improvement. The standards below are based on a combination of historical fitness benchmarks and additional fitness data, creating meaningful goals that are both challenging and achievable. Two levels of achievement—Presidential and National—recognize students who meet established fitness benchmarks, while all students who complete the test may receive a Certificate of Participation. Together, these recognition levels encourage students to set goals, track progress, and celebrate their accomplishments.
