Fitness profile radar chart

Using results from their fitness tests, students convert each score into a 1-to-10 rating and plot their profile on a radar chart. From the chart they identify priorities and write two measurable goals for their training plan.

How to play

1. Each student gathers their scores for cardio endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, agility and power from previous classes (3 min).
2. Walk through the norms chart on the worksheet and how to turn each score into a 1-to-10 rating; model one example on the board (4 min).
3. Individually, students convert their six scores into ratings and double-check them with a partner (5 min).
4. They draw the radar chart by hand on the worksheet or with a spreadsheet on a tablet, one axis per fitness component (6 min).
5. In pairs, they explain their profiles to each other: highest area, lowest area and possible reasons (3 min).
6. Each student writes two measurable, time-bound goals, for example adding two PACER stages in eight weeks (4 min).

Rules

• Respect others' data: no one discusses another student's profile out loud without permission.
• Goals must be specific, measurable and realistic.
• Use actual scores, not wished-for ones.
• Every chart includes a name, date and axis labels.

Variations

Adaptations

• Limited mobility: use the adapted tests they completed and their own personal baseline as the norm.
• Autism: provide the steps as a checklist plus a completed example.
• Students with no prior scores: assign a sample profile now and schedule their tests for the next class.

Learning goals

• Chart their own fitness level from personal data.
• Interpret the profile to identify training priorities.
• Write specific, measurable, time-bound improvement goals.

Equipment for a class of 25

• worksheets: 25
• markers: 25
• tablet or smartphone: 13

Teacher tip

Use age-appropriate norms and make it clear they are only a guide. This lesson works best right before students design their personal fitness plan.
