資料 平成9・10年度体力測定にみられる本学学生の体格と体力

This paper reports on the physical fitness level and physical measurements (height and weight) for the nｓt･year students of the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 academic years. The students\u27 height and weight were similar to the national average for 18-year-old girls. The average body mass index was 21.5 (1997) and 22.2 (1998); however, about 20% of the 1998 first-year students were classified as "overweight" and "obese." The students performed better than the nationwide average in the grip strength, step test, and back strength tests. But their performance was inferior in side-stepping, the vertical jump, and 50-meter run. As well, poor performance in standing trunk flexion tests gave an indication of stiffness of the joints.資
