Abstract
Abstract The calisthenic exercise program advocated for adults by the President's Council on Physical Fitness was tested for its effect on selected components of physical fitness. Nineteen subjects participated in the exercise program for 10 weeks. The training was preceded and followed by measurements relative to the Council's objectives for the program: strength, flexibility, improved general appearance, endurance, coordination, and efficiency. Flexibility in males and a segment of the endurance complex in females appeared significant at the .05 level of confidence when the differences observed from pre-training to post-training were exposed to nonparametric tests, but this significance did not appear in any of the other components of physical fitness except in isolated instances within a given component.
