School Age National Averages

The Forums New to training

Hello,

Would anyone have any ideas on where to find scores for school age kids (12-15 yrs) on strength and fitness tests?

Ex. 20 yard dash, 1 min. push-ups, 1 min. sit-ups, maybe even a Pro Agility Test…ect.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the U.S. they’ve been testing kids on a “Presidential Physical Fitness” test since 1966. Here’s a page that lists the criteria –

That said, I imagine any healthy kid could smoke the average score with a little training, considering the fitness level of your typical mouse potato kid.

Thank you.

Yeah, I’ll have to check my Essentials book, but I figured any info on test scores for young kids, would be from simple WP tests.
