Information about Kenneth H. Cooper
Kenneth H. Cooper (born 1931), is an M.D. and former Air Force Colonel from Oklahoma. Cooper is the author of a 1968 book Aerobics which emphasized a point system for improving the cardiovascular system. The popular mass market version was The New Aerobics (ISBN 0553268740), published a few years later. His points system is also the basis of the 10,000 steps per day method of maintaining adequate fitness by walking.
In his Air Force career, Cooper had devised a simple test (the Cooper test, originally the distance run in 12 minutes) which correlated quite well with VO2max, and so could conveniently be used to quickly establish the fitness level of large numbers of people.
Cooper is the founder of the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas [1].
