All Pathfinders participated in the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.
The Physical Fitness Test recognizes Pathfinders for their level of physical fitness in five activities:
- Curl-ups (or partial curl-ups)
- Shuttle run
- Endurance run/walk (1 mile run)
- Pull-ups (or right angle push-ups or flexed-arm hang)
- V-sit reach (or sit and reach)
Hooray for Pathfinders!
It takes guts and determination to compete in the five activities of the President’s Challenge Physical Fitness Test. These Pathfinders are really testing their limits, and we’re proud of them. That’s why the President’s Challenge offers awards for Pathfinders at all levels of fitness.
The three awards for Pathfinders, based on their scores are:
- PRESIDENTIAL PHYSICAL FITNESS AWARD
- Wow! These kids are seriously fit! This award recognizes Pathfinders who achieve an outstanding level of physical fitness. To earn this award, Pathfinders must score at or above the 85th percentile on all five activities.
- NATIONAL PHYSICAL FITNESS AWARD
- Impressive! These kids clearly have a great fundamental level of fitness. Pathfinders earn this award for scoring above the 50th percentile on all five activities.
- PARTICIPANT PHYSICAL FITNESS AWARD
- Woo hoo! There’s room for improvement, but these Pathfinders showed great heart. Pathfinders earn this award if they participate in all five activities, and one or more of their scores fall below the 50th percentile.
