Papers Presented
On Child Fitness
« - -
Studies of factors in children’s
physical fitness patterns and how
play affects decision making will
be described in papers to be pre
sented by two Texas A&M pro
fessors in Houston this week.
Drs. Linus J. Dowell and
Charles B. Corbin of A&M’s
Health and Physical Education
Department will present results
of their studies at the 71st annual
convention of the National Col
lege Physical Education Associa
tion convention.
“Body Fat, Diet, and Activity
Patterns of Varying Levels of
Physical Fitness of Children” is
the title of Dr. Corbin’s treatise.
He is an assistant professor.
Dr. Dowell, associate professor,
studied “The Effect of Play Ex
perience on Rational Decision
Making.” He said student sub
jects used basketball and football
abstracts to play 8,000 “games.”
Data on rational behavior were
taken using a mathematical
theory for games. Dowell said
research indicates the more com
plex a game becomes, the less
decision making experience
gained.
Corbin’s article reveals a child’s
activity pattern is the prominent
factor in determining his degree
of physical fitness. Fitness tests
of chinups, running and situps,
skinfold measurements and mo
tion picture studies along with
study of diets indicate active kids
tend to be leaner and fitter.
“It was found that endurance
and stamina were developed best
in the most active child and that
muscular strength is not related
to activity,” the professor said.
He emphasized that the research
supports a casual observation
that “fat kids aren’t fit kids.”
