영문 초록

The purpose this study was to evaluate the differences in physical fitness according to different body composition for the volunteers of an in-coming freshmen class at an female college. Subjects for the study were approximately 400 volunteers from an in-coming Freshmen class at a major woman’s university in Seoul, Korea. The study was conducted during the month of May, about five to six months after the subjects completed the college entrance exam. The average age for the subjects was 19 years. There were two parts of this study. One is body composition, the second is physical fitness. The first part of the study involved the evaluation of body composition. This included height, weight, muscle mass, fat mass, body weight and muscle mass to fat mass ratio, body fat percentage, fat distribution, circumferences, and skinfolds. The In Body 2.0 bio-impedence method was utilized to measure muscle mass, fat mass, body fat percentage and fat distribution. Other measurements (body weight, height, circumferences, and skinfolds) were taken using a scale, measuring tape, or calipers. Afterwards, subjects were tested for physical fitness in four areas: flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. Each test was performed twice for each subject and the maximum value was utilized for analysis. Nine Different categories were created by cross-comparing body weight with muscle and fat mass proportions. The categories for body weight were average, below average and above average. The categories for muscle mass to fat mass ratio were: proportionate, deficient muscle mass to fat mass ratio and excessive muscle mass to fat mass ratio. Results allude to the poor physical condition of in-coming freshmen women at a major University in Korea Poor physical condition not only decreases the quality of health and life, but it can also make individuals more susceptible to degenerative diseases later in life. The majority of women in this study either possessed excessive fat mass or suffered from deficient muscle mass. For the women in the study, the examination system seems to have not only negatively affected their performance in physical fitness exercise, but it also seems to have impacted their bodies in a negative manner as well. Almost all of the women in this study had abnormal fat levels (87%). The physical performance of these women was poor as well, with the students outside of the normal body composition groups scoring poorly in almost all of the tests of physical fitness. These results emphasize the overwhelming need for physical fitness programs during high school. Although it is outside of the range of this study, high school is a crucial period of physical development for all women, and the absence of physical fitness programs may also have a permanently detrimental effect on their development as well. Ultimately, health, physical education, and physical fitness are essential for the well-being of adolescent women and should be incorporated as a vital part of the curriculum in Korean high schools.
