UMS Students to Start Fitnessgram Testing
by Dustin Moore
August 25, 2009
Starting on August 31,
students at Underwood Middle School will test their physical
fitness by participating in Fitnessgram fitness tests.
Students will be tested for strength (flexed-arm hang,
curl-ups, push-ups), flexibility (sit-and-reach), endurance (pacer
test), and body composition (height, weight, body mass index).
Students will test again in the spring. The goal is for
all Underwood Middle School students to improve their overall
physical fitness over the course of the school year. Parents,
please encourage your children to do their best on the testing and
to continue to stay active! Please click on the following
