The school nurse at a local elementary school is performing physical fitness assessments on the third grade children. When assessing students' cardiorespiratory fitness, the most appropriate test is to have the students:
a. Step up and down on a 12-inch bench
b. Perform the sit-and-reach test
c. Run a mile without stopping, if they can
d. Perform range-of-motion exercises
C
Field tests for running are good for children and can be used when assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. The step test is appropriate for adults. The 12-inch bench height is too high for young children. The sit-and-reach test and range-of-motion exercises would be appropriate when assessing flexibility.
