Who ran the Division of Physical Fitness established in 1942?

• A. John B. Kelly
• B. Gulick
• C. Dudley Allen Sargent
• D. Roosevelt

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of who led the national effort to promote physical fitness when the Division of Physical Fitness was created in 1942. John B. Kelly was the figure who ran that division, guiding national fitness initiatives and school-based programs during the WWII era. His leadership reflected the push to strengthen youth fitness as part of national defense. Dudley Allen Sargent and Luther Gulick were earlier pioneers in physical education, not operators of this wartime division, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, while influential in producing fitness-related policy and programs, did not run this specific division.
