Excerpt from Universal Test for Strength, Speed and Endurance of the Human Body
I think a more serious objection to the present test is, that if solely relied upon, it does not try the heart and lungs sufficiently to afford a good test of endurance. Undoubtedly, the com monest factor required in all forms of physical activity, as well as in all forms of athletics and gymnastics, is strength The loss of it is the first thing we notice when we are ill; the re turn of it is the first thing we notice as we recover. The next most common factor is speak - quickness, or the ability to accomplish the greatest amount of work in the shortest period of time. The quality which is most desired, though the least often attained, is endurance, or the power to continue strong efforts at the highest speed for a given period of time, so that the greatest total amount of work may be done.
In trying to meet the several objections to which I have referred, and devise a test which will at once be more economical.
