Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of certain harmful health misconceptions among junior high school students attending public schools in two distinct metropolitan areas of the United States. A health knowledge inventory in two separate forms was constructed, and either Form A or Form B was administered to 4,852 junior high school students from the two distinct metropolitan areas. On the basis of an analysis of the data obtained in this investigation, junior high school students subscribed to many harmful health misconceptions, regardless of metropolitan area, sex, grade level, or number of semesters of health instruction.

Abstract Twenty-one male, teachers' college students were given six daily periods, each lasting 5 min., in which they mentally practiced a gross motor skill of which they were previously naive. On the day after the final practice their performance at the skill was rated by three experienced judges. The subjects also completed the Wiebe Test of Kinaesthesis and the scores obtained on this test were found to correlate +.161 with a criterion score derived from the T-scaled form of the mean of the judges ratings.

J. E. Hewitt
Abstract Hewitt's Comprehensive Tennis Knowledge Test, first reported in the Research Quarterly in 1937, has been revised. During the interim over 10,000 copies of Form A and B have been used by members of the profession. There were 200 questions in the original battery. These were reduced to 100 after each of the questions was evaluated by item analysis and Holzinger's Index of Discrimination. The difficulty rating was determined from the percentage answered correctly by three levels of tennis ability—beginners, advanced, and the varsity group. Alternate halves (odd vs. even) for the two forms A and B, when using the Spearman-Brown Prophecy formula, gave a reliability of .95. When correlated with the Minnesota Tennis Knowledge test, r = .81, and with Scott's Achievement Examinations for Elementary and Intermediate Tennis, r = .86; this would indicate sufficient validity. Scoring key and grading scale for each form is included at the end of the paper.
休伊特网球综合知识测验首次发表于1937年的《研究季刊》，现已进行了修订。在此期间，专业人员使用了超过10,000份表格A和表格B。原始电池中有200个问题。通过项目分析和Holzinger's Index of Discrimination对每个问题进行评估后，这些问题减少到100个。难度等级是根据三个水平的网球选手——初学者、高级选手和校队——正确回答的百分比确定的。当使用斯皮尔曼-布朗预言公式时，A和B两种形式的交替一半(奇数或偶数)的可靠性为0.95。当与明尼苏达网球知识测验相关时，r = .81，与斯科特初级和中级网球成绩测验相关时，r = .86;这将表明足够的有效性。每个表格的评分关键和评分尺度都包含在论文的最后。

Abstract Twenty-six low fitness subjects were tested for total body reaction time, strength, agility, and explosive power and then retested on these items seven weeks later. During the intervening six-week period, the subjects participated in a vigorous training program consisting of four 30-minute sessions per week. Statistically significant improvements were displayed in all items tested following the training program.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of six motivating conditions on the performances of sixth-grade children on seven physical fitness tests. Data were obtained from three administrations of the seven tests, the final two of which were conducted with the subjects of the experimental groups performing under one of six motivating conditions. Two of the motivating conditions were found to be more effective than the other four, and motivation improved boys' performances more than girl's performances. The validity of the measures of physical fitness tests is dependent upon the motivating conditions under which the tests are administered.

Abstract A horizontal adductive arm swing executed at maximal speed, and timed at intervals of 15°, 53°, 90°, and 105°, was studied under two experimental conditions. Although the movement completed was the same in both conditions, the fundamental difference between the “normal” and “pre-tensed” arm movements was that in the latter condition the subject built up his arm strength maximally just prior to initiating the movement. Twenty trials under each condition was performed by 60 college men. All reliability coefficients were found to be high, i.e., over .89. In contradiction to expectations, the relationship between premovement strength and speed of movement at the first station (r = -.208) was lower than anticipated. However, the low correlations found between strength and speed of movement are in general agreement with the results of earlier investigators which have substantiated the predominance of neuromotor specificity.

Abstract An evaluation of the U. S. Navy's program of training for underwater swimmers, at Key West, during one typical course of six weeks, shows muscular, cardiovascular, and fat reduction improvements. The program of intensive physical conditioning, both in and out of the water, totaled about five hours of vigorous exercise per day, five days per week. In addition to swimming, the 30 men took land calisthenics drills, ran on an outdoor track, carried scuba packs weighing about 60 lbs., and took many test exercises to virtual exhaustion. Improvements equalled those obtained in wartime university programs but appear to be proportional to time spent, and were better than peacetime programs. Improvements in the cardiovascular area are considered handicapped and were probably hampered by insufficient sleep and the fatigue which accumulated during the course of the experiment. The time was considered inadequate to make the fullest cardiovascular adjustments. Fatigue showed especially in quiet cardiovascular ...
