Morrow, James R., Jr. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2005
The current state of physical fitness in American youth is unknown. While evidence exists that obesity levels are increasing in children and youth, data on declines in physical fitness measures (i.e., cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness) are lacking. Tracking of physical fitness components has been poorly done. Surveillance of behaviors…

In this study, the authors asked 335 graduate students attending the Northwestern student health…
