Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out about health-related physical fitness and physical self-concept in 32 weeks of moderate to vigorous intensity swimming and combined exercise for male elementary school students before puberty. The subjects of the study consisted of 4th to 6th grade male elementary school students living in Jin-gu, Busan, with Turner stage 1 students. A total of 23 people participants in the study, including 9 swimming, 9 combined exercise and 8 control groups. In health-related fitness, interaction effects were shown in muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and cardiopulmonary endurance. In the physical self-concept, interaction effects were shown in regular exercise and total score. When elementary school boys before puberty were given moderate and vigorous intensity swimming and combined exercise, It was higher than control groups in terms of muscle strength, muscle endurance and flexibility among health-related fitness factors. And in cardiopulmonary endurance, combined exercise is higher than swimming group, and swimming group is higher than control group, so combined exercise is recommended to improve cardiopulmonary endurance. Among the physical self-concept factors, the combined exercise group was higher than the control group in regular exercise, and the total score was higher in swimming and combined exercise group. As a result, changes in physical self-concept have been shown to have a positive effect on preadolescent children by swimming and combined exercise.
