Abstract
Kraus-Weber test results of more than 1400 junior high school girls of two schools with different physical education programs were compiled three times per year by intelligence quotient, age, and physical type categories to determine the interrelationship of these factors and their significance to failure of the test. The results reveal that Kraus-Weber test failure is positively correlated with intelligence; that intelligence, age, and physical type are interrelated with one another, and with Kraus-Weber failure; that a program of exercises based on physiological needs produces rapid gains in strength and flexibility, for after one semester of a program including conditioning exercises, these girls, most of whom had had no physical education before this experiment, matched the European children's rate of success in passing the Kraus-Weber test.
