Normative Fitness in Undergraduate Exercise Science Students: How Do They Compare?
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to report normative physical fitness data for Exercise Science undergraduate students and compare the findings with criteria published by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). 514 participants (males, n = 204; females, n = 310) aged from 18 to 29 years participated in this descriptive study. Pre-exercise heart rate and blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, skinfold thicknesses to estimate total body fat percentage (BF%), estimated maximal oxygen intake (VO2max), and muscular endurance were evaluated. Percentiles were calculated and compared to those from the ACSM, with hypothesis testing of the medians. The median BF% for male students was leaner (p < 0.001) than criterion standards. VO2max was lower compared to the published median in both sexes (p < 0.001). Students performed on par with ACSM-published muscular endurance assessments. Exercise Science students are not fitter than the normative data published by the ACSM.
期刊介绍:
Quest is the official journal of the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education (NAKHE). It is the leading journal for interdisciplinary scholarship for professionals in kinesiology in higher education. Quest provides a public forum for scholarship, creative thought, and research relevant to a broad range of interests held by faculty and leaders in higher education today.
Quest publishes: 1) manuscripts that address issues and concerns relevant and meaningful to the field of kinesiology; 2) original research reports that address empirical questions that are contextualized within higher education and hold significance to a broad range of faculty and administrators in kinesiology; and 3) reviews of literature and/or research of interest to one or more sub-disciplines in kinesiology. Quest does not publish papers focused on sport (e.g., amateur, collegiate, professional) that are contextualized outside of kinesiology in higher education.
