How

How about information on fitness programs, covering topics like stretching, aerobic vs. anaerobic excercise, cardio vs strength traning, safe ways to approach training, etc? -- JunkCookie 19:14, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)

Is the last external link (to http://www.endlesspools.com/) valid? It seems like an advertisement, not useful information.

not very complete

The focus is currently solely on the military-style of physical training. This article is in need of added information - not a whole lot as it is a large subject, but enough to give the reader an idea of the topic. I suggest breaking it into categories such as Cardio, Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Sport-related, etc. while just covering the basics of each section.

Another possible category is benifits of physical fitness, including ability to run further, easier movement etc. would anyone like to help me on making this article a whole lot larger? Please leave a comment on my talk page if you would.--Will James 09:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

removed last external link...

it was to the professional website of a personal trainer based in London. seemed inappropriate.

I think we should delete that entire last section...who really cares about noted physical trainers? In fact...who really knows who they are???--Will James 09:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

neutrality

I'd question the neutrality of the sentence I've marked regarding home exercise equipment. Smacks of advertising.--InconX 17:40, 6/4/07

Accuracy part of physical fitness?

How is accuracy part of physical fitness? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.72.116 (talk) 02:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Removed dubious sentence about student

I removed the the dubious sentence about students having to take fitness tests. It didn't mention which country or region it was referring to, cited no references and unfortunately it most certainly isn't true where I grew up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanbey (talk • contribs) 19:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Expansion?

Does anyone know what a basic definition of "physical fitness" would be for healthy adults? I'm looking for something like "a healthy adult can walk for 2 hours without stopping," or "a healthy adult can climb 3 flights of stairs" or "a healthy adult can lift 50 pounds" or something like that. Basically, I need to find a way of defining physical fitness that doesn't assume that a healthy weight is all that matters, but which is equally measurable. I found something in elderly people that says if they can't walk a quarter mile, then they have an increased risk of dying in the next six months, but I'm looking for something more general and specifically dealing with adults (age about 20 to 60). Thanks! 76.240.229.199 (talk) 21:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
