Are American Children and Youth Fit?

Corbin, Charles B.; Pangrazi, Robert P.

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v63 n2 p96-106 Jun 1992

National School Population Fitness Survey data were reexamined to assess fitness in U.S. children and youth, comparing numbers meeting norm-referenced standards and criterion-referenced health (CRH) standards. Using CRH standards to view fitness had advantages over norm-referenced standards. Results did not indicate a decline in fitness levels. (SM)
