The purpose of the study is twofold: 1) to illustrate a method whereby it is possible to combine the various criteria for physical fitness to form one composite criterion and 2) to develop physical fitness test batteries. As a result, a method for combining the various criteria of physical fitness tests into one composite criterion was described. Furthermore, physical fitness test batteries were developed.

work capacity—assessment from single criterion; exercise tolerance—factor analysis; composite fitness score
