This presentation is designed to provide Health/Physical Education teachers with information needed to begin or reinforce existing fitness projects. Our project is multi-disciplinary, incorporating Health/PE, Technology, Math, and Language Arts. The students use individual fitness scores to graph comparisons to school and Fitnessgram averages for each of the assessments performed. The students then use the FITT principle to analyze their individual scores and make recommendations for improvement of their own personal fitness levels.
