Adult Fitness Test
The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sport recently launched a fitness test for those over the age of 18 to test their physical fitness.
The Adult Fitness Test is similar to the Physical Fitness Test offered for children between the ages of 6 and 17.
The activities featured on this adult fitness test are provided as a way for you to get an estimate of your level of aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and your body composition.
The results on each test provide you with a measure from which you can track your progress in each area as you become more physically active.
