Abstract: Abstract The four factors upper body strength and endurance, trunk strength and endurance, leg strength and endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance were hypothesized as defining the domain of physical fitness. Physical fitness was defined in this study as being muscular strength and endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Thirteen fitness test items were administered to college women (N = 336) and college men (N = 283). Data were analyzed for each group using eight derived factor solutions. Findings in this study did not support the hypothesized factors. There seem to be three factors for the domain of physical fitness for both men and women; however, those identified in this study are not the same for men and women.
