교육대학교 여자 신입생의 체지방률에 따른 신체구성 비율, 기초대사량, 체력의 차이 = Difference in Body Composition Ratio, Basal Metabolic Rate, and Physical Fitness Level Based on the Percentage Body Fat on Female Freshmen in a University of Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

[Introduction] The purpose of this study was to assess the difference of body composition ratio, basal metabolic rate, and physical fitness level by percentage body fat of female freshmen in a university of education. [Method] The participants of this study were 353 female freshmen attending the Seoul National University of Education. All participants` percentage body fat was divided into four groups (underweight, normal, overweight, and obesity) and each group took body composition ratio, basal metabolic rate, and physical fitness tests (muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, muscle power, agility, and balance). One-way ANOVA was used for body composition ratio, basal metabolic rate and testing physical fitness differences. [Result] First, muscle mass, total body water, and mineral showed high percentage body fat as low figure. Waist to hip ratio showed high percentage body fat as high figure. Second, basal metabolic rate showed high percentage body fat as high figure. Third, muscle power, and balance showed high percentage body fat as low figure. Conversly, there was no significant difference between the groups on muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and agility. [Conclusion] These results suggest that body composition may be better measured in the ratio than in the absolute value, like the percentage of body fat.
