factor in the selection of a proven program, the scales from :
the American Association of Health, Physical Education and
Recreation Tests♦
A contribution in a related vein was Stein's (14) study
of the regular physical education program in the Arlington
County, Virginia schools. This study also used the American
Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation
Tests, with controls necessary to obtain factual data. The
students were given pull-ups, standing broad jump, shuttle
run and sit-ups, fifty-yard dash, soft ball throw, and the
six hundred yard run and walk tests, the same as were used
in this study. Upon Stein's re-test, he employed the Pearson
product-moment correlational technique to interpret his
findings. Five of jthe tests had reliability coefficients
from .93 to .98, a significance beyond the .001 level. It
should however be pointed out that Stein's work was with
secondary students. He emphasized the fact that his study
was conducted during the student's regular physical educa-
tion period, as was this study, and not in an experimental
research setting. Stein's results could well be more
meaningful if also used in a public school setting.
The subtests administered included the following items
at all levels {grades two through five): ;
1. Arm Hang
2. Sit-ups
3. Shuttle Run
