In the field of Physical Education, "physical fitness" has a definite meaning though the term has so far defied accurate physiological definition. Since "fitness", in the light of present day definitions is generally considered to result from "physical training", most scientific investigations in this field has been directed towards measuring the effects of "training" on cardiovascular and respiratory parameters or towards comparing these parameters in the trained and untrained subjects. Some of the parameters, in particular those which are easily measured such as pulse rate, ventilation and oxygen uptake, have been well studied and the changes which occur on exercise and the way training effects these changes have been well documented.
