Abstract
Sixty-four third-grade children participated in a ten-month (September to June), four-day-a-week fitness program (ten minutes of stretching and strength development exercise followed by 12 minutes of running). A control group of 45 children was allowed free play during this time. In June the experimental group completed a 1,600-meter run significantly faster than the control group. In the experimental group, boys had significantly greater improvements than girls. Exercise heart rates expressed as a percentage of predicted maximal heart rate showed no significant changes in control subjects, but in the experimental group, girls had increases from 73.7 to 80.5 and boys from 73.1 to 87.7 of maximal heart rate.
