Tests for Physical Fitness

AS the hour of total immobili-
cation and, let us hope, the day of
universal military training ap-
proaches, We should begin to take
thought of the definition of what
constitutes physical fitness.
1t is not nearly as simple a sub
ject as it might at first sight.
A man has a sound heart, blood
pressure, lungs, stomach and can
do so much work in a given period,
SO he is physically tit--that is your
first reaction.
But we all know people who
have high blood pressure, or some
heart defect who have done a good
life's work day after day, and seem
nc worse off than when the de-
fects We're first discovered. Are we
going to reject such a one for mill
tary service, or for some form of
service, just on account of a theo-
retical standard Of fitness.
Aman of 20, to be physically fit,
should be able to carry a 40 pound
pack 20 miles in eight hours. Or
SO they say. But what should a
man Of 80 or 40 be able to do? And
are we going to keep men Of those
ages from serving their country
because they can't do what a man
OF 20 can do?
Women are now in all war in
dustrieS. They probably have
less muscular strength and endur-
ance than . group Of men. But
they stand pain better and they
live longer than men.
Most of the tests for physical
fitness, so far devised, aside from
simple tests of the organs Of the
body, vision, and hearing, are
based on the increase in the pulse
rate and the respiration under
standardized exercise.
If physical fitness tests 7 a
problem, what about the mental
tests? There is NO psychological
test known that Will determine
what a man will do under given
conditions requiring courage and
judgment.
Here then, in the last analysis,
is the real test Of physical fitness
whether the mar or woman a do
his job or not. The practical test
Of experience.
