Purposes: To estimate the reference values and predictive equations for frequently used clinical field HRPF measures in a sample of Saudi female college students aged 18 - 24 years. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, body fat percentage (BF %) was estimated. Curl-up test (CUT) and sit and reach test (SRT) were applied in 216 students. The Queen’s College Step Test (QCST) was used to predict maximal oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub> max). Physical activity (PA) level was also measured using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results: The mean of BF %, SRT, CUT, and predicted VO<sub>2</sub> max were 23.98% ± 6.13%, 17.10 ± 7.50 cm, 28.17 ± 7.72 number/min, and 39.58 ± 4.01 ml/kg/min respectively. There was no significant effect of age on all HRPF measures except for BF % (F <sub>(6,215)</sub> = 3.25, p <sub>(6,215)</sub> = 4.01, p strated that BMI was the predictor for BF % and SRT and explained 65% and 4% of total variance respectively. IPAQ score, age, and height were the predictors of CUT counting 17% of total variance. While, BMI and IPAQ score were the predictors for VO<sub>2</sub> max and explained 13% of the total variance. Conclusion: Reference values can be used clinically in the evaluation of HRPF, in the rehabilitation process as well as in designing a program to improve the HRPF for female college students with consideration of age, height, BMI, and PA level for a particular population.展开更多

It is with superb skill, charming and colorful parade of action, posture which is coordinated with the music to demonstrate the extraordinary artistic charm, thus attracting more and more students to participate in. Because it is different from traditional hand gymnastic exercises, and does not have too high demands for space and equipment. Practicing it just needs fast-paced and lively musical accompaniment, and dynamic movements can make people feel good, so it wins the majority of young people, especially girls. Calisthenics is as one of the means to work out for students; in particular, it develops a lifelong habit of physical exercise and plays an important role for college girls＇ lifelong fitness awareness. The topic is studying female college students on aerobics body shape, function, quality and impact of mental health to promote the development of physical education reform.展开更多
