7. Results of repeated tests for a single subject permit the plot-
ting of a curve of Improvement. Comparison between Improve-
ment curves for several subjects shows that those who produce 100
per cent fatigue curves reach a higher level of performance and
improve more rapidly than those whose fatigue curve patterns are
less efficient.

8. The curves of Condition indicate the need for and value of
frequent short rest periods since there is more and faster recovery
from strenuous work during the first two minutes of rest than
there is during the next ten minutes.

9. Functional Fitness with its associated physical, mental and
social elements may be evaluated by examination of Fatigue curves
developed by an individual.

10. This series of Fatigue curves proves conclusively that vigor-
ous and strenuous physical activity develops sound bodies which
can accomplish more work; can work better, faster and longer;
recover better and more quickly; and can be ready for additional
work with less rest.
