How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Student Age, Gender (0=Male, 1=Female), and Curl-Ups (count in 1 min).
- Set Shuttle Run (seconds), Pull-Ups (count), and Sit-and-Reach (cm).
- Adjust 1-Mile Run (minutes) as needed.
- Review the Composite Percentile result.
- Use Curl-Ups Percentile and Shuttle Run Percentile to inform your decision.
How the result changes with Student Age
| Student Age | Composite Percentile |
|---|---|
| 7.1 | 73 |
| 9.85 | 50 |
| 13 | 30 |
| 16 | 17 |
What each input means
- Student Age
- Age in years (norms available for ages 6-17).
- Gender (0=Male, 1=Female)
- 0 for male, 1 for female. Affects percentile norms.
- Curl-Ups (count in 1 min)
- Number of curl-ups completed in 1 minute.
- Shuttle Run (seconds)

How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersStudent Age = 12, Gender (0=Male, 1=Female) = 0, Curl-Ups (count in 1 min) = 25, Shuttle Run (seconds) = 11 = 7 input(s) provided
- Calculate Composite PercentileComposite Percentile = number): string {36 = 36
- Calculate Curl-Ups PercentileCurl-Ups Percentile = zToPercentile(zCurlUps)21 = 21
- Calculate Shuttle Run PercentileShuttle Run Percentile = zToPercentile(zShuttleRun)42 = 42
