The purpose of the present investigation was to compare and analyze the physique and physical fitness for children(boys:876, girls:784, age: 7 yrs), and to correlation between physique and physical fitness 5 items.
The measurement items of physique and physical fitness were height, weight and
sitting trunk flexion, 50M run, standing long jump, foot balance, flexed arm hang test.
The statistical analysis were calculated to mean and standard deviation for all
measurement values and correlation coefficients between physique and physical fitness 5 items for children using SPSS/PC+ statistical package(α=.05).
The conclusion of the present investigation was as follows;
1. Physique
1) In height, boys(118.31 ±23.92cm) has been significantly higher than girls(116.11 ±4.72cm)(P<0.05).
2) In weight, boys(22.31 ±3.54kg) has been significantly higher than girls(21.17 ±3.31kg)(P<0.01).
2. Physical fitness
1) In sitting trunk flexion, girls(11.67 ±4.37cm) has been significantly higher than boys(9.97 ±4.48cm)(P<0.01).
2) In 50M run, boys(12.58 ±1.30sec) has been significantly faster than girls(13.30 ±1.59sec)(P<0.01).
3) In standing long jump, boys(112.99 ±16.36cm) has been significantly higher than girls(98.94 ±16.24cm)(P<0.01).
4) In foot balance, girls(30.90 ±19.66sec) has been significantly higher than boys(26.65 ±19.25sec)(P<0.01).
5) In flexed arm hang, boys(8.68 ±7.94sec) and girls(8.58 ±8.11sec) had no significant difference.
3. Correlation between physique and physique and physical fitness
1) In correlation between height and physical fitness, boys were no little correlation in 5 items all, and girls and total were significantly low correlation(P<0.01) between height and 50M run, standing long jump.
2) In correlation between weight and physical fitness, boys and girls all were
significantly low correlation between weight and standing long jump(P<0.05), flexed arm hang(P<0.01), and total were significantly low correlation between weight and 50M run(P<0.05), standing long jump(P<0.01), flexed arm hang(P<0.01).
