FITNESSGRAM® Healthy Fitness Zones
The FITNESSGRAM® uses Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZs) to evaluate fitness performance. These zones are criterion-referenced standards established by The Cooper Institute of Dallas, Texas, and represent minimum levels of fitness that offer protection against the diseases that result from sedentary living (Rev. 2008). The California Department of Education considers a student who meets or exceeds a HFZ as meeting the desired performance goal.
