Abstract
For more than 20 years national awards have been given to youth who have met predetermined standards on physical fitness test batteries. These awards were established to motivate improvements in youth fitness, to motivate youth to want to take fimess tests, and to encourage active lifestyles. Recently questions have been raised as to the effectiveness of these award schemes. Theoretical and practical factors that support or question the effectiveness of various award schemes are discussed.
