The performance test was implemented by the Physical Education teachers to evaluate the physical fitness of the students even though the test could potentially harm the students either physically or psychologically. This research was conducted to overcome the emergence of the problems (physical and psychological) during the physical fitness test of the lower-level elementary school students. This study is a descriptive quantitative research that uses one variable - the physical fitness profile. The observation guidelines consist of enthusiasm, excitement, and discipline. All of these aspects were used as the instrument of data collection. The objective of the research is to determine the physical fitness profile of the lower-level elementary school students. Thus, in this research, the physical fitness profile is assessed using observation guidelines to avoid the physical and psychological stresses. Based on the observation guidelines, the results of the research show that the physical fitness profile of the first graders from the chosen elementary school is as follows: (1) very good, none (0 %), (2) good, four students (15.4 %), (3) average, 16 students (61.5 %), (4) poor, six students (23.1 %), and (5) very poor, none (0 %). The results of the second graders are as follows: (1) very good, none (0 %), (2) good, six students (22.2 %), (3) average, 17 students (63.0 %), (4) poor, four students (14.8 %), and (5) very poor, none (0 %). The results of the third graders are as follows: (1) very good, four students (13.8 %), (2) good, eight students (27.6 %), (3) average, 15 students (51.7 %), (4) poor, two students (6.9 %), and (5) very poor, none (0 %). According to the results of the research, and based on the observation guidelines, it can be concluded that the physical fitness profile of the assessed lower-level elementary school students is average.
