Modern Concepts of Physical Fitness.

Falls, Harold B.

Journal of Physical Education and Recreation, v51 n4 p25-27 Apr 1980

Physical fitness is not simply a performance oriented discipline but also, and more importantly, a health oriented discipline. The new American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) Health Related Physical Fitness Test battery reflects this idea in its four components: cardiovascular function, body composition, strength, and flexibility.
