Recently released results from the test, which state law mandated three years ago, show that students' fitness ability significantly declines as they get older. Third-grade girls were the fittest, with 37 percent passing all six tests. High school seniors did the worst, with 8 percent of girls and 8.5 percent of boys meeting the healthy standard.

More than 2.9 million Texas schoolchildren last year took the fitness exams, which measure body composition, aerobic capacity, strength, endurance and flexibility.
