Khelo India Fitness
Test in School
➢ Fitness defines the ability to perform physical
activity, and encompasses a wide range of
abilities. Each activity and sports requires a
specific set of skills, and so being fit for an
activity or a sport does not necessarily make you
fit for another.
➢ Fitness is generally divided into specific fitness
categories or components, and each can be
tested and trained individually.
➢ The following pages will help you do the Fitness
Test Administration in your school more
effectively using Khelo India Fitness Assessment
App and viewing the School Dashboard on School
Interface.
 Battery of Tests
AGE GROUP 5-8 YEARS | CLASS 1 to 3 AT PRIMARY CLASS 1-3

➢ Children should acquire Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) leaving the

learning of specific physical activities to later stages.
➢ FMS provide the building blocks for many physical activities, such as
playing games, dance, and sport. Locomotor, Manipulative & Body
Management abilities are key to success in most sports and physical
activities.
➢ Abilities of children in class 1-3 which need to be measured and tracked
are :
1) Body Composition (BMI);
2) Coordination (Plate Tapping);
3) Balance (Flamingo Balance).
➢ Which are important for controlling the body in various situations.
 BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Body Composition refers primarily to the
distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Body
Purpose size such as height, lengths and girths are also
grouped under this component.

Procedure for Measuring Height Accurately
➢ Remove the participant’s shoes, bulky clothing, and hair ornaments,
and unbraid hair that interferes with the measurement.
➢ Take the height measurement on flooring that isnot carpeted and
against a flat surface such as a wall with no moulding. Have the
participant stand with feet flat, together, and back against the wall.
➢ Make sure legs are straight, arms are at sides, and shoulders are level.
Make sure the participant is looking straight ahead and that the line
of sight is parallel with the floor.
➢ Take the measurement while the participant stands with head,
shoulders, buttocks, and heels touching the flat surface (wall).
➢ Depending on the overall body shape of the participant, all points
may not touch the wall.
➢ Use a flat headpiece to form a right angle with the wall and lower the
headpiece until it firmly touches the crown of the head.
➢ Make sure the measurer’s eyes are at the same level as the headpiece.
➢ Lightly mark where the bottom of the headpiece meets the wall. Then,
use a metal tape to measure from the base on the floor to the marked
measurement on the wall to get the height measurement.
➢ Accurately record the height to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.
Procedure for Measuring Weight Accurately
➢ Use a digital scale. Avoid using bathroom scales that are spring loaded.
➢ Place the scale on firm flooring (such as tile or wood) rather than
carpet.
➢ Have the participant remove shoes and heavy clothing, such as
sweaters.
➢ Have the participant stand with both feet in the center of the scale.
➢ Record the weight to the nearest decimal fraction (for example, 25.1
kilograms).

Scoring:
➢ The test performed is Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated from body Weight (W) and
height(H).
➢ BMI = W / (H x H), where W = body weight in kilograms and H = height in meters.
➢ The higher the score usually indicating higher levels of body fat.
➢ Height recorded in cm and mm.
➢ Weight will be recorded in kilogram (kg) and grams (gms).
➢ Record the weight to the nearest decimal fraction (for example, 25.1 kilograms).
➢ Accurately record the height to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.
Plate Tapping Test
Purpose Tests speed and coordination of limb movement.
Infrastructure / Table (adjustable height), 2 yellow discs (20cm
Equipment Required
diameter), rectangle (30 x 20 cm), stopwatch.
➢ If possible, the table height should be adjusted so that the
subject is standing comfortably in front of the discs. The two
yellow discs are placed with their centers 60 cm apart on the
table. The rectangle is placed equidistant between both discs.
Procedure ➢ The non-preferred hand is placed on the rectangle. The subject
moves the preferred hand back and forth between the discs
over the hand in the middle as quickly as possible.
➢ This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 taps).
Scoring The time taken to complete 25 cycles is recorded.
 Flamingo Balance Sheet
Ability to balance successfully
on a single leg. This single leg
balance test assesses the
Purpose strength of the leg, pelvic,
and trunk muscles as well as
Static balance.
Infrastructure Non-slippery even surface,
/ Equipment Stopwatch, can be done while
Required standing on beam.
Procedure
➢ Stand on the beam. Keep balance by holding the
instructor’s hand (if required to start).
➢ While balancing on the preferred leg, the free leg
is flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held
close to the buttocks. Start the watch as the
instructor lets go of the participant/subject.
Pause the stopwatch each time the subject loses
balance (either by falling off the beam or letting
go of the foot being held).
➢ Resume over, again timing until they lose
balance. Count the number of falls in 60 seconds
of balancing. If there are more than 15 falls in
the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated.

 Measurement of Cardio-Vascular Fitness
Harvard Step Harvard step test was developed by Brouha in 1943 for
Test the purpose of measuring physical fitness for work and
the ability to recover from work. The test was originally
designed for young men of college age. In the original
validation of the step test Brouha tested 2200 males.

Purpose To determine aerobic fitness.

Objective
To perform step test continuously without
break for 5 minutes or until exhausted.
Bench or wooden block 20 inches in height;
Equipment
stopwatch; metronome.
Procedure :
➢ Student will start test at the command “Go” and will step up and down, on and off the
wooden block or bench at the rate of 30 steps per minutes for 5 minutes.
➢ Participant is given instructions that on the command ‘up’ or the first sound of the
metronome, he/she should place one foot on the bench; on the second command ‘up’ or
the second sound of the metronome, he/she should place both feet fully on the bench
with the body erect straightening the legs and back.
➢ Exactly five minutes of steps, on the signal ‘stop’, the participant immediately sits down
on the bench. If the student is unable to maintain the pace, then she/he is considered to
be exhausted and the test is brought to an end before completion of 5 min. The tester
will note the duration of the exercise in seconds and use short formula.
Pulse Count :
➢ After completion of the test, the student sits down and the tester
takes the hearts beats between 1 to 1½ minutes.
Scoring : Fitness Index score will be determined by applying following

 Computing Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
➢ The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories needed to maintain body function and resting
condition. In another words BMR is the number of calories burnt by the body while performing basic life
sustaining functions.
➢ That is, a person, who does not engage in any work, still requires energy for the functioning of their internal
organs. This energy is called Basal Metabolic Rate. Unit of BMR is calculated in Kcal.
➢ There are factors that may affect BMR like Muscle Mass, age, state of mind, Gender, Genetics, Body
composition etc. Environment changes like change in heat and cold may change the requirement of the body.

Purpose Determine Basal Metabolic Rate.

Equipment Stadiometer, Weight machine, Pen and paper.
Method to measure height and weight is given at BMI.
Formula used : The mifflin-St Jeor BMR Equation.
Male calculation = (10 * weight(kg.)) + (6.25 * height(cm)) – (5 *
Procedure age) + 5.
Female calculation = (10 * body weight(kg.)) + (6.25 *
height(cm)) - (5 * age) – 161.

 Johnson – Metheny Test of Motor Education
Objective Johnson - Metheny Test battery is revised version of Johnson
Educability Test which was designed in 1932. The purpose of the
Johnson battery was to measure neuromuscular skill capacity
which have ten items. In 1938 Methney studied the test and
eliminated six items.
The test battery consist of four
motor stunts are given below :
Front Roll
Back Roll
Jumping Half-Turns
Jumping Full- Turns

Four stunts are to be performed by the boys and three stunts for girls.
Test Area Mat area length is 15 feet and it is 2 feet wide. The 15 feet length divided in to
ten sections for 18” each. The width of transverse line is ¾” and 3”
alternatively. Centre of lines remains 18” apart. Another ¾” wide line is
marked lengthwise in the middle of the mat area.

1) Front Roll : Ignoring the long middle dividing line, the subject
Procedure is asked to start outside the marked area and perform two
front rolls, one up to 7.5’ i.e. 3” wide centre line and the second
in the other half of 7.5’. The subject is to perform the rolls
without touching the limits or over reaching the zones
mentioned above.
Scoring : Each correct roll gets 5 points, hence maximum of 10
points. Two points are deducted for over-reaching side line,
right or left for each roll; one point is deducted for over
reaching the end limit on each roll and full five points are
deducted when the subject fails to perform a true front roll.
2) Back Roll : The test is similar to front roll both in performing and
scoring. The subject is to start outside the marked chart area and is
to ‘perform two back rolls in the 2 feet lane area, one up to first half
and the second back roll in the second half.

3) Jumping Half Turns : The subject is asked to start with feet on first 3”
line, jump with both feet to second 3” wide line, executing a half
turn either right or left; jump to third 3” line executing half turn in
opposite direction to first half-turn and then to 4th and 5th 3” wide
lines executing half turns, right or left alternatively.
Scoring : Perfect execution of four jumps is worth ten points. Only 2
points are deducted for each wrong jump when the subject either
does not land with both feet on the 3” line or turns the wrong way or
both.
4) Jumping Full Turns : The subject is asked to start with the
feet outside the marked area at about the centre of the
lane. He / She is required to jump with feet together to
second rectangular space, executing a full turn with the
body either right or left; continue jumping to alternate
rectangular spaces across the marked mat executing full
turns, rotating body in the same direction, landing on both
feet every time.
Scoring : Perfect execution of five jumps is worth ten points.
Two points are deducted, if the subject fails to keep
balance on landing on both feet; turns too far or oversteps
the squares.
