여대생의 체격, 체력, 체성분과의 관계

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between different health-related physical fitness elements. Subjects were approximately 400 freshmen volunteers from a major women`s university in Korea. The variables in this study were: muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, body composition, Each of the different physical fitness elements were compared individually to each of the other factors. There were various correlations between body composition and other factors. Surprisingly, the relationship between muscle mass and muscle strength was relatively weak. Body circumference possessed a relatively strong relationship to both fat mass and abdominal fat percentage, as expected. In the case of physical capability, flexibility proved to be unrelated to other factors including inter-limb flexibility. Flexibility in one limb didn`t guarantee flexibility on the other. There was a strong relationship between muscle strength in different areas of the body. Muscle endurance proved to be unrelated when performing push-ups or sit-ups. Overall, there was no relationship shown between muscle strength, flexibility, muscle endurance, or cardiovascular endurance.
