During the marking period I will be handing out a worksheet for the students to complete at home for extra credit. Yes, the student can improve their push up results. Reinforcement which are vital to changing behavior and serve as aĬommunications link between teachers and parents. Students receive objective, personalized feedback and positive Students in the areas where they need improvement. Recommend individualized physical activity program options that will help Third, it goes beyond mere measurement to Second, itĮmphasizes measures of health-related physical fitness instead of performance First, it compares scores to carefully researched andĭeveloped health standards rather than to national averages. The way this test is administered is more effective than other available physical fitness testsįor three reasons. This is a valid measure for muscular strength and endurance. Each time we do this it will be more and more reliable. If the students are not staying with the cadence of the CD, the results will vary. In our case, as a Physical educator I am constantly giving feedback, and corrections to the students so they understand exactly what needed to be done in order to accomplish this test successfully. Reliability will depend upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test.

Scoring: The number of correctly completed push-ups that were performed in time to the rhythm. If the student has lost form, does not keep a flat back, does not reach the 90 degree angle, stops to rest, does not fully extend the arms or loses rhythm. The student will be asked to stop the test after 2 mistakes. The push-ups are done in time to a cadence with one complete push-up every three seconds (1.5 seconds down and 1.5 seconds up, 20 complete push-ups per minute). An will be set at the point of the 90-degree angle so that the student being tested goes down only until their chest touches the object, then back up. Keeping the back and knees straight, the student lowers the body until there is a 90-degree angle at the elbows, with the upper arms parallel to the floor. Procedure-Start in the push up position - with the hands and toes touching the floor, the body and legs are in a straight line, feet slightly apart, the arms at shoulder width apart, extended and at a right angles to the body. Socks and sneakers only, no jewelry of any kind. Preparation- Students are asked to wear loose fitted clothing, (appropriate for Physical Education, stated in the school handbook.) Our Push-up test will be completed on August 24th, 2010 Specified pace, students complete as many repetitions as possible.
