McCloy’s Specialty He was a specialist in Anthropometry, or the analysis of motor skills. He used this to accommodate the variability in students abilities. He also used it to classify students based on age, stature, and there weight. He used this information to evaluate their productivity.

McCloy’s Philosophies
He believed that the educational side of being healthy is much more important than the development of physical skills. He also believed that we should use measurement to develop and build skill. He argued that people were too into the idea of being good at the sports and games instead of focusing on the health, wellness, and education.

Interesting Facts He was fluent in Chinese.
He had many articles and a few books that he wrote. The most popular being his book, Tests, Measurements, in Health and Physical Education. Many of his writing was translated into several languages and sent to other countries.

I agree with McCloy’s Philosophy.
I would use his philosophy within my routine as a Health Promotion major. It is obvious that not everyone is as gifted athletically as some of us, therefore we as teachers need to make the accommodations. I would make sure I would teach my people everything they need to know about living a healthier and happier lifestyle. I would use measurements to make sure they could see where they need to improve and where they are succeeding. I would also make sure they don’t feel like it’s a competition with others. I would make it more of a competition with themselves, and challenging them to make it to the next level.
