The assessment of the level of physical fitness in adolescents is a predictor of chronic degenerative diseases in adulthood, so its measurement by simple, inexpensive, and easily applicable means makes the International Fitness Scale of interest to public health worldwide. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the evidence based on relations to other variables and reliability of the International Fitness Scale - Brazilian version (IFIS - BRA). Adolescents of both sexes participated in the study. The IFIS - BRA, and physical tests were applied to the adolescents. Taking the results together, we can state that the IFIS - BRA offers satisfactory psychometric indicators.
