Abstract
As a partial determination of fitness, the Youth Fitness Test of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation was given to 319 male and 134 female Danish school children. The results of the testing were compared to the American standards, which were compiled in terms of both age and the Neilson-Cozens Classification Index. It was found that approximately 70 percent of the boys' scores and 86 percent of the scores of the girls exceeded the various American mean scores. Possible causes of these differences are discussed.
