"Posture-rating chart" for Physical Fitness Award

[mtnhikr 10]

Our venture patrol plans to do a physical training unit and wants to earn the BSA Physical Fitness Award while doing so.

 

As part of the National "To Be Physically Fit" program we need to use a "POSTURE-RATING CHART" to to evaluate one of the "Seven Major Components of Fitness": Posture.

 

Trouble is, the BSA printed materials and web site gives no indication where to get one.

 

Can anyone help us out?

A google search on "Posture rating chart" turned up a couple sites.

I also saw these sites. They tell how to score from the chart but bo not include the chart itself.

Thanks for responding.

I found it! Check out this site for a posture assessment chart. American Physical Therapy Association:

Then use 1,3 or 5 to score the 13 elements you'll see on this site. (6 are from a front view and 7 are from the side view.)
