Activities included: (1) identifying and selecting populations requiring adjustments to physical fitness tests and standards; (2) identifying tentative test items and standards for physical fitness development; (3) validating test items and standards; (4) developing a criterion-referenced test of physical fitness and modifying items and standards associated with selected national physical fitness tests designed for typical individuals; (5) developing an educational component relevant to adolescents with disabilities; and (6) preparing materials for project dissemination. Appendices include 16 research reports that evaluated specific test items for the criterion-referenced health-related test for individuals with disabilities.
