The Science
Olympiad is an international nonprofit organization devoted to improving
the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science,
and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education
by both students and teachers (K-12). These goals are accomplished through

National Science Olympiad Tournament
Science of Fitness
May 17-18, 2002

This event
includes the mastery of physical activity and fitness knowledge, exercise
physiology problems, and measurement skills. Emphasis is upon individual
and public health effects of balanced exercise and nutrition. The common
contributing factors that reduce fitness such as smoking, inactivity, and
poor diet are included. Students should know basic anatomy and physiology
of relevant body systems at rest, and apply this understanding to solve
problems posed by the effects of exercise and diseases. Non-programmable
calculators and reference materials (must fit in a standard 3-inch,
3-ring binder) may be used. The fitness of the students will NOT
be evaluated.
