FITNESSGRAM Pacer Run Cadences with audio and video

 If you are looking for some FITNESSGRAM Pacer cadences that include audio and video, then you have come to the right place.  

I have two different ones to chose from and they can be found on slides two and three.  Hopefully, these might help you get ready for when you perform the PACER RUN in PE class.  

Good Luck!

As always, email me [tsuarez@musd.org] if you have any questions/concerns/suggestions. 

What is the Fitnessgram Push Up Test and how to get better at it.

The Push Up Test measures upper body endurance, as opposed to a one rep maximum bench press test which measures muscular strength.

The objective is to complete as many 90 degree push-ups as possible at a rhythmic pace.

• Students begin in the up position and follow the cadence while they complete the push-ups. 
• With a straight back, students must go down low enough so there is a minimum 90 degree bend in their elbows. 
• Return to the up position in pace with the cadence and with arms fully extended. 
• Form errors include: not going low enough, stopping or not maintaining the proper pace, not maintaining the correct straight back body position, not extending arms fully enough and touching with the body on the way down. 
• After the first form error students get the opportunity to make the correction. 
• After the second form error the test is concluded.
