Abstract

Physical fitness testing and programs should address such basic elements as body composition, aerobic power, and strength. Current trends that encourage a sedentary lifestyle among adolescents (from entertainment to cutbacks in government physical education programs) must also be considered, with particular attention to populations suffering from chronic illness and disability, such as mental retardation, blindness, motor disabilities, and extreme obesity.
