This document presents an analysis of a normative study done to determine physical fitness norms of college age young adults. Data for this normative study were collected under the supervision of 24 coinvestigators who were affiliated with institutions distributed in all regions of the United States. The study presents the derivation of the college-age norms (including data collections methods, handing, and analyses) results of the normative study and the actual physical fitness test items (including distance runs, skinfold measurements, modified sit-ups, and flexibility-related exercises). Tables, figures, and illustrations of exercises are provided. (BA)
