Measurements of muscular strengths. these are grasping power, lifting power. arm flexion and leg extension. were made on 208 Korean olympic athletes as a part of the evaluation of physical fitness. The flexibility was also observed.
Following conclusions were obtained.
1. The degree of development of muscular strength in each athlete was pretty much correlative with characteristics of each sports. Strong lifting power is a requisite factor in the sports in which explosive expression of mussular power is required.
2. The grasping power of right and left hand was especially different in athletes of such sports as tennis and table-tennis.
3. Female athletes were much more excellent in the test of the flexibility.
4. It is recommendable to measure three muscular strength for exact estimation of basic hysical fitness and for proper orientation in physical training.
