What is the FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM program?

FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM is the national educational assessment, data

management, and reporting software program. The software contains two major components, a

comprehensive physical fitness assessment and reporting program (FITNESSGRAM), and a

detailed 3 day physical activity assessment program (ACTIVITYGRAM). The software also

includes a physical activity logging tool (Activity Log) that allows youth to track physical

activity levels (minutes or step counts) on an easy to use calendar interface. The logging tool

can also be used by teachers to administer class or school-based physical activity challenges.

The FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM program was developed by The Cooper

Institute and a Scientific Advisory Board in response to the need for a comprehensive

assessment protocol. A complete history of the FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM program is

presented as a separate chapter in the Reference Guide (History of FITNESSGRAM). It was

originally presented in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health (Plowman, et al., 2006) but

is included here to provide a context to understanding the evolution and history of the

program.
