Abstract The data for 40 variables were obtained from 81 Purdue University faculty sons between 10 and 12 years of age inclusive. Among the 40 variables, 680 correlation coefficients were obtained. Factor analysis was used to identify the factors which could explain the items measuring body composition and motor aptitude. As a result, eight factors were isolated and given names. The factors underlying the 40 variables seemed to permit the following names: growth and maturity factor, “body fitness” factor, body balance on object factor, coordination of the lower extremities factor, general kinesthetic sense factor, general static balance factor, directionality factor, and laterality factor. Observing the factor loadings in Factor I, it may be concluded that the measurement of lean body weight by liquid scintillation counting technique is significant in the assessment of growth and maturity in preadolescent boys. Furthermore, in the assessment of “body fitness” pertaining to preadolescent boys, it is reveal...

Abstract Two groups of thirty male university students, equated on the basis of scores achieved when learning a series of nonsense syllables, were blindfolded and given 10 massed trials in two large maze tasks. No significant differences were found in the motor tasks between those of high and low verbal ability. No significant correlations were found between verbal and motor ability as measured by the experimental tasks.

Abstract The five different training methods used in this study consisted of various proportions of swimming and of weight training exercises. Sixty subjects were divided into five equated groups. Each group was exposed to a different treatment over a period of six weeks. Tests of swimming speed were administered at the beginning of the experiment, and at the end of each week. All five treatments resulted in significant swimming improvements, but none of the treatments were significantly more effective than the other treatments.

Abstract Recovery pulse rates following a 3-min. step test were obtained for 2,360 college women who were enrolled in 66 colleges and universities representing the six districts of the AAHPER. The pulse rates were converted to cardiovascular efficiency scores and national standards were established. These include six categories and range from excellent to very poor. In addition, it was found that scores in the Eastern district were better than all others; that physical education majors scored higher than majors in other disciplines; that there is no correlation between height and scores on the step test; and that women who weighed 150 pounds or more did not score as well as those who weighed under that amount.

Abstract This investigation appraised the health behavior of seventh- and eighth-grade students as measured by the responses to the Colebank Health Behavior Inventory and attendance records. Significant differences favoring girls were found in the mean total test scores and in the knowledge and practice subpart scores on the Inventory. Highest mean scores were established in the health attitude subpart of the CHBI. Only nominal or nonsignificant differences were evidenced between Inventory items and scores of attendance groups. Findings for curriculum development in health education were discussed.
