Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The first objective was to construct increased increment scoring tables for selected track and field events based on the achievement of female physical education students at Rhodes University, South Africa, using the initial performances recorded by the students in each event during the years 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1964, 1965 and 1966.

  2. What particular differences are disclosed by the English and educational placement tests?
  3. What light do the academic achievement records cast on the differences of the two groups.
  4. What differences do certain auxiliary factors establish between the athlete and non-athlete?
