VII. RATIONALE :
A review of the existing Physical Fitness Tests (PFT) introduced by Dr.
Aparicio H. Mequi, former Chair, Philippine Sports Commission (PSC)
and Director, Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports
(BPESS) was conducted for the purpose of establishing testing
protocols considered to be more current and appropriate for the
Special Program in Sports (SPS) and in the new K to 12 program.
The development of the physical fitness tests was conducted through a
workshop initiated by the Task Force on School Sports (TFSS) and
was subsequently reviewed by the Bureau of Secondary Education
(BSE). This gave rise to the Physical Fitness Tests Manual. The
manual is intended for the use of the public and private schools for the
Physical Education and School Sports Program
Passing the prescribed standards in the Physical Fitness Tests is a
requirement for admission into the Special Program in Sports.
Moreover, under the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, Physical
Fitness is one of the major goals of the Physical Education Program
and shall be incorporated/adopted in the PE curriculum from Grades 4
to 10.
The PFT is a set of measures designed to determine a student’s level
of physical fitness. It is intended to test two categories of physical
fitness commonly referred to as: Health-Related and Skill-Related.
Health-related component refer to those physical attributes which
enable a person to cope with the requirements of daily living such as
cardiovascular endurance or stamina, muscular strength and
endurance, flexibility and the appropriate body mass index (BMI). Skill-
related components are physical abilities that show potential for good
performance in certain skills (usually in sports) like running speed,
agility, reaction time or quickness, balance and coordination.
In determining the level of health-related and skill-related physical
fitness status, several test items are applied. These tests were
specifically selected to suit various conditions existing in schools such
as a) the time it takes for a test to be completed, b) availability of
equipment and facilities, c) ease and simplicity in administering the
test, d) easy recording of the tests results, and e) challenging yet joyful
participation among the pupils and everyone involved in the program.
The administration and implementation of the testing program shall be
treated as an essential component of the Physical Education and
School Sports Program for both elementary (Grades 4, 5 and 6) and
secondary levels.
In line with these program teachers in High School and Elementary
teachers need a prior knowledge of how to execute the proper and
right procedure in performing the physical fitness test.
