Study early gymnasium architecture to understand how and why American
physical culture evolved.
Other IHPRA newsletters include old gymnasium interior and exterior images.
The IHPRA site receives many questions and comments.
Here are a few.
I'm looking for a physical fitness book written by a man name kuvonsky.
Have you ever heard of him?
Perhaps you mean Nickolas Kounovsky.
He wrote several books.
Perhaps best known for Six Factors of Physical Fitness.
You write often about posture and its relationship to bodily structure,
function, and motion.
How can we in the military start taking posture more seriously?

A few years ago, the Army National Guard conducted a study to investigate
Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) pipeline losses.
Poor physical fitness was of course one of if not they most import predictors of
failure/success in basic training.
Here are a few photos taken during the study. The problems are apparent at
all levels.
Recruits arrive severely deficient, and the physical readiness training and testing
often injures them even more.
Cadre make little or no effort to improve military bearing, and are not trained to
properly do so.
Our physical culture has decayed
quietly below the radar for many years.
How were the reserve component fitness levels during Desert Shield and Desert Storm?
