Effects of physical fitness training on physiological paramenters of pilot students

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of physical fitness training on pilot student's constitution by comparing the changes of physiological parameters. Methods Male pilot students, who were in fundamental institute, aged from 16-19 years old were selected as subjects. Their physiological parameters were compared to analyze the effects of physical fitness training implemented for two years in institute. Results The physiological parameters were varied in different degree through out the physical fitness training. Among light weight students ( 76 kg) lost weight. The height of 47.67% students was averagely increased by 0.9 cm. Visual acuity either of left or right eye was increased in 42.00% and 43.40% students respectively. The average values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure statistically decreased (t= 13. 106, 14. 544, P<0. 01) after two-year training. Conclusions Physical fitness training can improve the physiological parameters of pilot students. The study provides the evidence for moderately easing the physical medical examination standard in pilot student selection.
