N2  - The aim of this study was investigation with theAAHPERD (American Alliance For Health, Physical Education, Recreation andDance) battery of physical fitness of male children from 8 to 10. The number ofthe subjects participated in the study was 566; male children 190 8-year-olds,190 9-year-olds and 186 10-year-olds from state elementary schools and from privateelementary schools. The order of the measurements and tests was as follows:weight, height, sit-and-reach test, skinfold measurement, sit-up, pull-up, andone mile run-and-walk. In statistical analyses, the mean, standard deviation,minimum and maximum values of AAHPERD tests applied to the subjects wereobtained and evaluated. As a result, components of health-related physicalfitness, applied to male children from 8 to 10 showed that the sum of tricepsand calf skinfolds, the sum of triceps and scapula skinfolds, the values ofabdominal strength and the of cardiovascular endurance were normal and similarto international norms; the values of upper body strength and of flexibilitywere below international norms.
