SAI Khelo India Fitness Assessment in Schools

Fitness defines the ability to perform physical activity, and encompasses a wide range of abilities. Each activity and sports requires a specific set of skills, and so being fit for an activity or a sport does not necessarily make you fit for another. Fitness is generally divided into specific fitness categories or components, and each can be tested and trained individually. The following pages will help you do the Fitness Test Administration in your school more effectively using Khelo India Fitness Assessment App and viewing the School Dashboard on School Interface.
