Explanation:

It should not be assumed that fitness testing will automatically increase students' physical activity levels, as the primary function of testing is to assess student health-related fitness (Franks et al., 1988). Health-related fitness testing by itself will not promote physical activity if the tests are used inappropriately (Corbin et al., 1995;Keating, 2003;McKenzie & Kahan, 2004). As we will note often throughout this article, fitness testing has the potential to promote physical activity and, thereby, improve health-related fitness only when fitness testing is used as an educational tool. ...

... Thus, it is very likely that fitness testing will be the entire fitness education program, since students are only required to be tested each year. Health-related fitness tests have often been an almost irrelevant adjunct to the curriculum (Keating, 2003;Pate, 1989). Instructional time spent on fitness testing without necessarily positively increasing youngsters' physical activity levels and health-related fitness does not make sound use of fitness tests. ...

... Students can, as a part of this, be educated that health-related fitness impacts not only their health (Simons-Morton et al., 1988), but also their cognitive skills (Hillman, Castelli, & Buck, 2005). In addition, student cognition about fitness tests plays a critical role in the establishment and maintenance of both physical activity and health-related fitness (Keating, 2003;Slava, Laurie, & Corbin, 1984). The fact that physical inactivity and obesity in the general population have dramatically increased in the last 30 years (USDHHS, 1980(USDHHS, , 2000 USDHHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 1996) partially suggests that physical education programs may not have done an adequate job of teaching students about the importance of health-related fitness or have taught it in ways that have not followed the guidelines presented here. ...
