Abstract
Besides the young athletes, concerns towards the improvement of physical fitness of the nonetheless of all age levels as well, increased greatly here in Japan year by year, and many physical fitness test batteries have been composed and applied in order to reveal their actual status of physical fitness. Simplified test batteries with reliable norms, however, are literally none in spite of the strong social demands. The reason seems to lie in a fact that it is not always easy to obtain suitable simple test items accompanied by scientifically and statistically accurate norms for the evaluations and diagnosis of physical fitness levels, though many simplified test items per se are found and available. The purpose of this study was to establish the norms of these simple test items by collecting the fundamental data Samples as many as possible in the country for all ages as long as the applicability of the item permit.
