JOPERD • Volume 80 No. 9 • November/December 2009 A n understanding of the history of AAHPERD is important in that it explains “who” we are and the chronology of events that brought us to this point in time.

The second type was perceived to be fair in both its selection procedures and outcomes. The third type, mixed, occupied an intermediate position and the athletes were ambivalent about both its procedures and selection outcomes. It was concluded that the athletes’ p...
