For each test area, the FITNESSGRAM uses the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) to evaluate fitness performance. The performance goal for all test areas is the HFZ. These zones represent minimum levels of fitness that offer protection against the diseases that result from sedentary living. Note: The Body Mass Index performance standards have changed for the 201314 school year.

The FITNESSGRAM and Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZ) are registered trademarks of The Cooper Institute. VO2max reflects the maximum rate that oxygen can be taken up and utilized by the body during exercise. It is estimated by utilizing the students height, weight, and other specific information, which is based on the test option (i.e., One-Mile Run, 20m PACER, or Walk Test) administered. The calculation procedures are found in the Reference Guide on the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT) Resources Web page at http://www.pftdata.org/resources.aspx. For Body Composition, the California Department of Education (CDE) considers a student who exceeds the HFZ as meeting the HFZ. Exceeding the HFZ means obtaining a score less than a number on the lower end or right side of the HFZ. Grade five students age 9 with time or laps reported have a VO2max calculated and are compared to the HFZ for students age 10. If a One-Mile Run time or PACER laps are reported for grade five students less than age 9, a VO2max will not be calculated, but the student will be reported in the HFZ.
