The premise behind this thesis is an attempt to understand the perceptions students have in regards to physical fitness testing in a program curriculum. The opinions of the students about physical fitness testing should be used as a learning tool for educators as we strive to improve the fitness levels of our students. What's more, we need to understand what students like and dislike about fitness and fitness testing so that we may initiate curricula that will enhance the students' possibility of adopting a fitness like lifestyle once they have completed the school programs required.This project was undertaken in an attempt to understand what students like and dislike about physical fitness testing. The data and opinions of 300 seventh grade students will be used to make changes in how physical fitness activities are implemented to students.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
