title: [The heritabilities of tests of physical fitness, calculated from the performances of ten years old twin pairs (author's transl)].
abstract: In the German Democratic Republic a representative sample of 300 twin pairs of normal 10 years old school children was measured and tested. From a subset of 480 pairs (153 pairs of opposite sex and 327 of the same sex) the heritabilities are calculated: stature 0,89; weight 0,88; 60 meters run 0,85; long jump 0,74; cricketball throw 0,54; push up 0,85; hop jump 0,66; endurance run 0,93; shot throw 0,71. The use of heritabilities as weighting factors in the construction of selection indices for purposes of personnel selection is discussed.
