Abstract

Physical fitness is an individual's ability to perform daily tasks efficiently and effectively with out fatigue and the ability to perform activities during emergencies. Individuals who have good physical fitness are individuals who have physical fitness based on health and physical fitness-based skills. Physical fitness is based on five components namely body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscle endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility. There are more than 15 physical fitness battery tests used worldwide to measure the level of physical fitness of children and adults. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the use of physical fitness test battery and the level of physical fitness of children based on health. Accordingly, the literature analysis shows that the most frequently used battery tests to measure children's fitness are FITNESSGRAM battery tests used in the United States and EUROFITT battery tests used in European countries. Whereas Malaysia uses the SEGAK Test only for children aged 10 to 17. The components and methods of conducting a physical-based physical fitness test will be described in detail. In conclusion, measuring the physical fitness level of children based on health provides important information to students, teachers, and parents about the child's physical fitness level. In this regard, physical-based physical fitness tests should be carried out to suit the age of the child, and indirectly the health of the child can be reflected through physical-based physical fitness tests.
