The purpose of this study was to compare the health-related fitness of the 1st grade students in Meiho University from 2007 to 2011. The subjects were 2809 students which included 1597 female and 1212 male students. Based of the official standards issued by the Ministry of Education, the evaluative tests of physical fitness were body mass index (BMI), flexibility (bending-forward), starting power (stand-still jumping), muscle strength/endurance (1-minute sit-up), and aerobic respiratory endurance (800-meter for females/1600-meter for males). Those data were analyzed by descriptive statistic and one-way ANOVA. The results were as followed: First, the weight and the BMI of the female students were higher than the normal distributions, and the height, flexibility, strength and muscle endurance, power, and respiratory endurance of them were lower than the normal distribution. Second, the weight and the BMI of the male students were higher than the normal distribution, and the flexibility, strength and muscle endurance, power, and respiratory endurance were lower than the normal distribution. In addition, the flexibility, strength and muscle endurance, and power of female students were lower year by year; especial the power of female students in 2010 was the lowest compared with other female students in other years. Furthermore, the flexibility, and power of male students were lower year by year, especial the respiratory endurance was the lowest in 2007. In conclusion, the physical fitness of the 1st grade students in Meiho University was lower by year. It advised that the physical education programs needed to add the static stretching in each gross muscle to improve the flexibility, and also added the weight training programs, running, walking, sprint, swimming, aerobic dancing, and other sports to improve their power and aerobic respiratory endurance. |
