Motor Fitness Testing Manual for the Moderately Mentally Retarded.
Johnson, Leon; Londeree, Ben
The manual provides instructions for adapting the Special Fitness Test and the Special Fitness Test Award System for moderately retarded children. It is noted that major purposes of the test and award system are to motivate youngsters to participate actively in physical education and recreation activities and give them feelings of accomplishment and personal satisfaction. Presented are norms for moderately mentally retarded persons on standard test items (such as flexed arm hang, situps, standing long jump, and 50 yard dash) as well as additional activities appropriate for this population. The testing program and award system are explained, and directions for administering the tests are given. Included are copies of recording forms. (IM)
