In 1979, the Ministry of Education completed a comprehensive study on the status of physical education in British Columbia. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of this assessment, with respect to the physical fitness of public school children at the end of primary (grade 3), intermediate (grade 7), and secondary (grade 11) levels. Approximately 3000 students were tested on measures of cardiovascular endurance, static and dynamic muscular endurance, static and explosive strength and flexibility. Separate panels, one to determine "acceptable ranges of performance" and one to interpret the findings, were established by the provincial Ministry. Evaluation was of a criterion-referenced nature and ratings of "weak", "marginally satisfactory", "satisfactory", "very satisfactory", and "strong" were assigned. The results of the study indicate that fitness levels of both sexes, at the grade 3 and 7 levels, as well as the grade 11 females, were generally rated "weak" to "marginally satisfactory". "Satisfactory" ratings were recorded for the grade 11 males. Variables of particular concern were those of cardiovascular endurance and static muscle endurance. It was concluded that B.C. students, while comparing favourably with other provincial, national and international samples, fell well below the "acceptable ranges" set by the provincial evaluative panels.
1979年，教育部完成了一项关于不列颠哥伦比亚省体育教育状况的综合研究。本文旨在介绍这项评估的结果，内容涉及公立学校小学（三年级）、初中（七年级）和高中（十一年级）阶段学生的身体素质。约3000名学生接受了心血管耐力、静态和动态肌肉耐力、静态和爆发力以及柔韧性方面的测试。省级部门设立了两个独立小组，一个负责确定“可接受的表现范围”，另一个负责解读研究结果。评估采用标准参照性质，并给出了“差”“勉强合格”“合格”“非常合格”和“优秀”的评级。研究结果表明，三年级和七年级学生以及十一年级女生的身体素质总体评级为“差”到“勉强合格”。十一年级男生的评级为“合格”。特别值得关注的变量是心血管耐力和静态肌肉耐力。研究得出的结论是，不列颠哥伦比亚省的学生虽然与其他省份、全国和国际样本相比情况较好，但远低于省级评估小组设定的“可接受范围”。
