In 1926, Earle Liederman wrote a book called Endurance. In it, he argues that every man should be physically fit enough to save his own life in an emergency.

According to Liederman:

“Every man should be able to save his own life. He should be able to swim far enough, run fast and long enough to save his life in case of emergency and necessity. He also should be able to chin himself a reasonable number of times, as well as to dip a number of times, and he should be able to jump a reasonable height and distance.
