Abstract

The purpose of this study was to make comparison between the students of Meiho Institute in the four year college program and in the five year junior college program with the college students of Taiwan area and the 8-23 age group students of Taiwan area in level of physical fitness to evaluate the level of physical fitness. The objects included 576 males and 1434 females in the four year college program and 1186 females in the five year junior college program. With the Standard Evaluation for the Physical Fitness issued by the Ministry of Education, the Body Mass Index(BMI), flexibility (sit & bending forward), starting power(long jump), the muscle strength/endurance (one-minute sit-up), and aerobic respiratory endurance(female 800 m/male 1600m run) were used to evaluate. The results of this study were as follows, based on the SPSS Analysis and adopting one sample test. Ⅰ. The average levels for the muscle strength/endurance, starting power and aerobic respiratory endurance were significantly lower among 19 year- old males in the four- year college program from 2003-2005 school years, when compared with the same age group in Taiwan area. Ⅱ. The average levels for the starting power and aerobic respiratory endurance were significantly lower among 18 year-old females in the four -year college program from 2001-2005 school years, when compared with the same age group in Taiwan area. Ⅲ. The average level for the starting power and aerobic respiratory endurance were significantly lower among 18 year-old females in the four- year college program from 2001-2005 school years, when compared with the same age group in Taiwan area.
