Where should circumference measurements be recorded?

• A. On a form separate from the measurement blocks.
• B. In the weight screening log.
• C. In blocks labeled FIRST, SECOND, and THIRD.
• D. In the APFT administration record.

Answer: (C)

Circumference measurements belong in the three dedicated measurement blocks on the form—FIRST, SECOND, and THIRD. Placing each reading in these blocks keeps all circumference data in a single, centralized place, which makes it easy to review for accuracy, compare the values, and determine whether a retest is needed. Recording them elsewhere—on a separate form, in the weight screening log, or in the APFT administration record—mixes circumference data with other information and can lead to confusion or data loss. The measurement blocks are specifically designed for documenting these readings in context, supporting clear, consistent record-keeping.
