Pre-service physical education teachers (PPETs) may be implementing health-related fitness testing (HRFT) in schools in the future. Thus, exploring their attitudes toward HRFT would help us understand physical education (PE) teachers' attitudes toward HRFT. This study investigated PPET attitudes toward HRFT in the USA and the effects of teacher…

Liu, Xiaolu; Keating, Xiaofen D.; Shangguan, Rulan – ICHPER-SD Journal of Research, 2017
This study examined changes in China's college student fitness test batteries since its inception in 1954. Using the constant content comparison method, the testing components, testing items and related cut-off values, testing methods, testing results utility, and testing material distribution were examined to identify the salient trends. The…
