Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if any changes occurred in the health-related components of physical fitness during a sixteen week walking course at a southern university campus. In addition, the study noted the changes which occurred in the student's perception of his/her fitness level, as assessed by questionnaire, and the relationship between actual fitness and perceived fitness level.
