dc.description.abstractPhysical education has been compulsory and examinable in Kenya's teacher education colleges at diploma level since 1980. The programme is basically geared to maintain and improve the bodily health and fitness of the learners. This study therefore, aimed at establishing the health-related fitness levels of the teacher trainees before and after an eight-week physical education programme. The sample comprised 40 first year, 40 second year and 40 third year students equally split between men and women. The variables monitored were body composition, flexibility, muscular endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Preliminary findings showed that some general improvements in the health status of the learners were noted. It is recommended that physical education be encouraged in all learning institutions for the purposes of enhancing the learners' health statusen_US
