Teachers no longer have to adapt standard physical fitness tests to accommodate students with special needs. The all-new Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) is specifically designed to test the fitness of youths from ages 10 through 17 that have various disabilities. The manual and related materials provide teachers with everything they need to know to easily administer the test. Years in preparation, the Brockport Test was developed through Project Target, a research study funded by the U.S. Department of Education and designed to develop a health-related, criterion-referenced physical fitness test. The Brockport Test compares scores to carefully researched and developed health standards, rather than to national averages. This way, the test administrator knows with certainty when a child meets the minimum recommendation for being fit on each test item. The Brockport Physical Fitness Test resources are as a kit or separately.See "Related Products" to the right for ordering information about separate components.

A new and improved print edition of the original e-manual is now available. The improved and re-illustrated book provides coaching and PE professional students with a "laboratory" text that doesn''t cost an arm and a leg. And one that they can really use in the field once they graduate. In the manual, there are detailed instructions for administration and evaluation of field-based tests relevant to sport and fitness (designed to logically supply the experiential content of a typical 16-week university semester). No metabolic carts, electromyographs, lactate analyzers, or any other specialized laboratory or clinical equipment is needed. Less than worth of basic supplies available at Wal-Mart can support almost all of the 26 assessment activities. All tests can be done easily with the physical plant normally found in any school, club, or clinic. The manual presents 6 pre-exercise participation/testing screening activities and 20 varied testing activities each assessing either strength, endurance, or mobility. Every individual activity section is prefaced with a physiology-based explanation of what is tested, why it is tested, and how the results can be interpreted and applied. A student laboratory report form is included at the end of each activity or related group of activities.
