The aim of this study was to analyze the physical performance factors in boys aged 9∼15 years. Subjects of this study consisted of a total of 1,200 boys and girls. The physical performance tests included flamingo balance, plate tapping, sit and reach, grip strength, sit-ups, 50m shuttle run, bent arm hang, and cardiovascular endurance run. All data were analyzed by SAS procedure (1988). The results showed that physical performance for elementary school boys consisted of the seven factors including muscular endurance for I factor, agility for II factor, power for III factor, static muscular strength for IV factor, dynamic muscular strength for V factor, flexibility for VI factor, and balance for VII factor. The physical performance for elementary school girls included static muscular strength for I factor, muscular endurance for II factor, power for III factor, agility for IV factor, flexibility for VI factor, and balance for VII factor. The five factors for physical performance including power-muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, balance and static strength were extracted from middle school boys. The physical performance for middle school girls consisted of the seven factors including flexibility for I factor, power for II factor, dynamic muscular endurance for III factor, agility for IV factor, balance for V factor, static muscle strength for VI factor, and static muscular endurance for VII factor.
