Health History Questionnaire & Release of Liability Form

Fitness Testing Standards

Exercise Guidelines

Majors in the Department of Kinesiology and Sport at USI are required to participate in physical fitness testing each year.

The test consists of six components:

a 1.5 mile run
sit and reach
BMI
grip strength
push ups
crunches

Students are required to test in all six components and pass three of the six at the 50th percentile.

Students who do not pass three of the six tests choose one of the following options:

Work with a personal trainer from the fitness center with progress supervised by a faculty advisor

Audit a prescribed physical activity class if there is space with progress supervised by a faculty advisor. (Students are required to strengthen the area(s) of deficiency and re-test the following semester).

A student WILL NOT be permitted to pre-register for classes if they do not test in all six components. A "HOLD" will be placed on their pre-registration process. Students enrolled in student teaching or practicum are exempt from fitness testing. For more information, please follow the links below.
