The fitness movement that began in the
late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise. Millions of
individuals became {{U}}(1) {{/U}} in a variety of aerobic activities,
and {{U}}(2) {{/U}} thousands of health spas {{U}}(3) {{/U}}
around the country to capitalize on this {{U}}(4) {{/U}} interest in
fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas
existed {{U}}(5) {{/U}} to this aerobic fitness movement, even a
national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their {{U}}(6)
{{/U}} was not on aerobics, {{U}}(7) {{/U}} on weight-training
programs designed to develop muscular mass, {{U}}(8) {{/U}}, and
endurance in their primarily male {{U}}(9) {{/U}}. These fitness spas
did not seem to benefit {{U}}(10) {{/U}} from the aerobic fitness
movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training
programs {{U}}(11) {{/U}} few, if {{U}}(12) {{/U}}, health
benefits. In recent years, however, weight training has again become
increasingly {{U}}(13) {{/U}} for males and for females. Many
{{U}}(14) {{/U}} programs focus not only on developing muscular strength
and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well. {{U}}(15) {{/U}}, most
physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and
endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily {{U}}(16)
{{/U}} such fitness components have been related to {{U}}(17) {{/U}}
in athletics. {{U}}(18) {{/U}}, in recent years, evidence has shown that
training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance
might also offer some health {{U}}(19) {{/U}} as well. The American
College of Sports Medicine now {{U}}(20) {{/U}} that weight training be
part of a total fitness program for healthy
Americans.
