Description
The purpose of the study was to investigate the differences in physical performance test scores of women in Tennessee colleges as measured by selected tests. The subjects for this cross-sectional study were 720 women selected at random from 12 colleges and universities in Tennessee. The instrument used to measure the differences was a battery of selected physical performance tests which included a 40-yard speed and agility run, basketball throw for distance, sit-ups, standing broad jump, modified chins, bend forward for flexibility, and a 200-yard shuttle run. Results indicated that significant differences do occur in certain activities as performed by various groups of college women.
