Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) for students in California schools is the FITNESSGRAM®. The main goal of the test is to help students in starting life-long habits of regular physical activity.

Students in grades five, seven, and nine take the fitness test. The test has six parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents.

If you have any questions about the Physical Fitness Test, please contact your student's school counselor or your student’s 9th grade Physical Education teacher.
