Schoolchildren could face annual fitness tests under plans laid out by the Government’s chief medical officer.
Sir Liam Donaldson wants pupils to undergo “bleep tests” – similar to schemes already running in California and Texas – to help increase fitness levels.
The checks would reduce the risk of illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, keep weight in check and improve mental health, he said.
Parents would be sent letters detailing their child’s fitness with the aim of getting families involved in improving health.
Around the world, physical fitness among children is declining by 4.3% per decade. In England, the rate of decline is 7% to 9%, regardless of obesity levels.
Research shows that being unfit but having a normal weight is worse for overall health than being “fat and fit”.
The bleep test involves running between two markers laid out 20 metres apart. The child must run from one marker to the other before a beep sounds.
As the test progresses, the beeps become quicker and the runner has to increase speed to keep up. The number of runs performed in a specific time can then be used to calculate fitness.
Current Government recommendations are for school-age children to be active for 60 minutes at a moderate intensity every day.
In his 2009 annual report, Sir Liam said annual bleep tests could help youngsters develop healthy habits for the rest of their lives.

Scotland unveils new Active Nation initiative
 |
The Scottish Government has launched a major new public health initiative, designed to encourage people across the country to increase their physical activity and boost the nation’s health record.Active Nation forms part of efforts to create a legacy from the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and will be delivered by a range of public, private and third sector partners through branded events and activities. A new website will also be used to provide ideas to help people to become more active ahead of the 2014 Games, while setting out Personal Activity Goals for participants to incorporate exercise into their daily lives. Scottish minister for public health and sport, Shona Robison, said: “Active Nation is about getting active, having fun and feeling good. It aims to energise and motivate all Scots to increase their physical activity in the run up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and beyond. “For too long Scotland has been seen as the ‘sick man of Europe’. Our nation’s health is improving but not quickly enough, especially in our most deprived communities.” |

If you have a spare 4 minute Click here to watch a video which shall show you that when your ever this drunk and lying on a floor, you shall thank me for setting up Circuit training classes and that you have conditioned Core Muscles to successfully get yourself off the floor with your carryout and be able to enjoy it in the comfort of your own home rather than going home empty handed…..I’ve always said there is method in my Madness.

West Highland Way Footage
A snippit of what Lynne Kuz and Gail Murdoch do during the longest day of the year can be found HERE The 95mile West Highland Way race that runners do in one go from 1am in the morning before the cut off in 35 hours, record is held in under 16. Carnegie Harrier and Local Inverkeithing runner and good friend Scott Bradley won the event this year in 16hrs 12 mins with another good friend Richie Cunningham also Carnegie coming in 3rd position. It’s pretty interesting stuff, the training, the food, the support you need for the race and feedback from the runners.
