Unit: Physical Fitness Testing
Saint John's Physical Education strives to promote physical fitness and well being. The purpose of physical fitness testing is for the Phys. Ed. department to have a better understanding of the physical condition of our students and to give our students a better idea of their own personal fitness level. The first unit for all Physical Education classes includes fitness testing in the following strength and endurance areas:
- The Mile: Students are expected to run the entire mile to the best of their ability. Saint John's considers and excellent mile time to be 6:40 or less.
Sit Ups: In order to demonstrate core strength and endurance, students are expected to demonstrate proper form and technique during sit-ups. Saint John's considers 75 or more sit-ups in a 2 minute period to be excellent (1 minute period for freshman).
Push Ups: To demonstrate upper body strength and endurance students are expected to perform as many push ups as they can with in a 2 minute period ( 1 minute for freshman). An excellent score is 42 push ups in 2 minutes.
Pull Ups: Another form of upper body strength and endurance is the pull up. Students are expected to perform as many pull ups as possible until failure. An excellent score is 17 pull ups.
Broad Jumps: This test determines the distance an individual can jump from a stand still position. The Broad Jump measure explosiveness. Every student will get 3 attempts with the best score being recorded
