| description | This thesis is a record of the tests of physical fitness which I have carried out during the last eight years on university and other college students and during the last four years on high school children. The early work has already been published; reprints of these papers are included as an appendix. The title, 'Physical Fitness of Young South Africans', has been selected to convey the best general impression of the subject matter but the scope of the thesis is in some respects narrower, and in others broader, than the title suggests. The investigation has been restricted to adolescents and young adults (aged 12- 27 years). The South Africans tested were at high schools or colleges in or near Cape Town and are representative of the main racial groups in the southern part of the Western Cape Province. I took the opportunity to compare their performance of the fitness tests with the performance of the same tests by children and young adults in the United States of America and in Great Britain. |
