Physical Fitness of Students Living in Cracow – Evaluation: Theoretical Assumptions, Practical Implications
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2007, Vol 17, Issue 39
Abstract
Aim of the work. According to the fact that in Poland there were no attempts to create any of the physical fitness tests including students’ environment which would base on truly sensible health circumstances, there was the need to elaborate the authors’ individual version founded on experiences in creating the kinetic tests as well as in researching of Health-Related Fitness conception’s (H-RF) main claims.Material and methods. To carry out the idea, data and sources collected through researches performed in 8 public universities in Krakow were compiled. In total the results of tests conducted on 1088 women and 977 men, starting the first year of university, were taken under consideration. Attention was paid mostly to those variables which should have been founded in the physical fitness structure based on H-RF conception and their dispersion characterized by standard distribution feature. The basic statistic features were calculated and with the help of McCloy’s method the right scale values for all tests were described.Results. The scale tables for women and men were presented with the method of conducting the researches as well as the interpretation of test’s results with explanation of practical usage.Conclusion. The effort to estimate physical fitness in relation to health convention meet the case to improve the regulation of creating tests within the conception of H-RF standards and is possible to be conducted in every university of the physical education profile. What should be excluded is using, while estimating fitness results, the scales based only on statistic norm. It is strongly advised to use the results of the test mostly to estimate the effort of pedagogical work the least to describe only the satisfactory (or unsatisfactory) statistical standards. The traditional statistical methods can be very useful in researches focusing on biological conditions of students population and also to describe its interpopulation variability to conclude continuously about physical and health condition of students.
