Need for New StandardsNeed for New Standards
Aerobic CapacityExcessively high passing rates for young girlsClassification disagreement between PACER
and One Mile Run
Body CompositionStandards for very young children did not
discriminate adequatelyMuch more data for children is now available
upon which to base standards
Basis for New StandardsBasis for New Standards
Nationally representative data on children from National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES)
Analyses were conducted to find levels of body fatness and aerobic capacity that are associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome
Age and Gender specific taking into account normal changes during growth and maturation
What is Metabolic Syndrome?What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Considered to have metabolic syndrome if you have three of the five conditions.
High blood pressureHigh fasting glucoseHigh waist circumferenceHigh triglyceridesLow HDL cholesterol
Characteristics ofCharacteristics of New Standards New Standards
Young boys and girls do not differ substantially but follow different patterns as age increases
New standards will classify children into three zones:Healthy Fitness ZoneNeeds Improvement – Some RiskNeeds Improvement – High Risk
Three zones allow messaging to be much more specific
Unique to New Body Unique to New Body Composition StandardsComposition Standards
These are not the CDC percentile standards, they are criterion standards
There will still be a Very Lean zoneBody Composition standards were
established based on levels of body fatness associated with increased risk of health problems
Levels of Body Mass Index were equated with these levels of body fatness

All output will be expressed as Aerobic Capacity (VO2max) rather than as PACER laps or One Mile Run time.
Calculation of Aerobic Capacity requires the input of height and weight – Body Mass Index is a very critical factor in one’s ability to perform aerobically. Without BMI many students may be classified incorrectly.

How Will the New Standards How Will the New Standards Change Test AdministrationChange Test Administration
Test administration does not changeThe test items are still the sameThe data that is entered in the computer
is the same
The one thing that will be different is that motivation for children on the aerobic test cannot be based on how much they have to do. Children will have to “do their best”
Changes will show up when you print reports – group and individual
