5th Grade California State Physical Fitness Testing (PFT)
The California State Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is required for all 5th-grade students statewide. This mandatory assessment will be administered by the Physical Education (PE) teacher during scheduled class time this school year.
PFT Components
The California State Physical Fitness Test consists of five key components designed to measure overall physical health and fitness:
- Aerobic capacity
- Abdominal strength and endurance
- Upper body strength and endurance
- Trunk extensor strength and flexibility
- Flexibility
Preparation and Support
Students will be introduced to the five components and given time to practice and prepare during their regular PE classes throughout the year.
We strongly encourage parents to support their child's preparation by:
- Encouraging Practice at Home: Simple practice, like light jogging or doing sit-ups, can be beneficial.
-
Providing Positive Support: Your encouragement and teamwork are greatly appreciated and directly impact your child’s confidence and success!
