re: High School Fitness video from 1962

Do schools even require PE anymore? When I was in high school most people just sat on their arse anyway. I was always gettin buckets.

Not that anyone cares, but I have PDF copies of the original La Sierra fitness programs. Lays out physical standards for different groups. Really cool.

Should have been implemented in all schools. We would have been/would be a much different population if JFK had successfully pushed this through. A culture of physical fitness, where it’s viewed as a social responsibility.

yep but hell even going back to the presidential physical fitness test and requiring PE 3-4 times a week would be a good start.

for the record La Sierra didnt do the obstacle course but about twice per month.

they had pe everyday. the first 15 min was the base program. the next 45 min was about building specific skills and learning. So many days they would do the 15 min program, then spend next 45 min learning baseball or football or they may do the obsticle course.

most students loved it but their are some now that have come out against it calling it barbaric. frick em.

ftr here are the standards to get the navy blue "golds" program which was highest honor. very few got to it.



here is blue which is level 3




here is red which is level 2





i and about 98% of the rest of the population couldnt even graduate from the red team

Are the fatties and trannies in a seperate class?

without a doubt, my thoughts when I first looked at it

Not a single offensive lineman to be seen in that video.

Huge offensive linemen were just gaining steam. In the 30s and 40s, a "huge" offensive lineman was 6'2" 220 lbs haha.

They would even have players drop off of the teams if used in Football

Just telling those kids to take their shirts off would bring about 50 lawsuits

I remember playing shirts and skins during PE for basketball and flag football.

Man the lawsuits that would fly if they tried that shite today.
