Book excerpt: Six factors were identified to account for performance on the thirty performance tests. Originally, nine factors were hypothesized, and the possibility of still additional factors was allowed. This finding is important in its own right since it provides for a simpler way of describing performance in these areas of physical proficiency: Explosive Strength, Extent Flexibility, Dynamic Flexibility, Gross Body Equilibrium, Balance-Visual Cues, and Speed of Limb Movement.

Book excerpt: Thirteen tests, measuring eight physical fitness factors, were administered to over 20,000 students between the ages of 12 and 18 in 45 cities throughout the U.S. The primary products of this effort are (1) the normative tables by which individual performance can be evaluated by test, age, and sex and (2) the 'growth curves' which show the development of the different physical proficiency components during the adolescent and subadult period. Finally, recommendations are made for batteries of tests which provide a more comprehensive and efficient coverage of physical fitness factors than do commonly used batteries in this area. The present report builds on earlier studies in this series which attempted to isolate and define the ability factors in this area of motor skill and to specify the tests most diagnostic of these ability factors. Any research program raises questions along with those it answers, and we have pointed these out along the way. These results should provide additional guidance to those engaged in physical fitness programs. The primary contribution lies in providing standards for the evaluation of individuals and programs in this area. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection written by Neal Schmitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of current research and practice, the purpose of this handbook is to provide an up-to-date profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource managers.
