I was having a debate as to whether fitness was relative or not.
Argument for relativity:
In order to quantify physical fitness as a measurement of improving the physical body there needs to be yardsticks to which physical fitness can be measured against, ie others. Therefore fitness is relative.
Argument against.
Someone can run distance and lift heavy etc in complete isolation, because that person has no one to measure against does that mean they aren't fit.
