Physical Therapy

From the President's Challenge for Kids

Pull-ups: The child hangs from a horizontal bar at a height he or she can hang from and still have their feet free from the floor. The child pulls up until the chin is above the bar and then lowers back to a full-hang starting position.
-- A 6-year-old boy should be capable of two pull-ups and a 6-year-old girl should be capable of two pull-ups.
-- A 10-year-old boy should be capable of six pull-ups and a 10-year-old girl should be capable of three pull-ups.
-- A 15-year-old boy should be capable of 11 pull-ups and a 15-year-old girl should be capable of two pull-ups.

A 10-year-old girl should be capable of doing more pull-ups then a 15-year-old girl? Is that right?

But let's take this a bit farther.

-- A 20-year-old girl should be able to just stand there and look good.
-- A 25-year-old girl should be able to have her boyfriend do 15 pull-ups for her.
